Blockheads Week #41 - Pinwheel Star by Lisa Bongean
Lisa has designed another dynamic block this week with lots of visual movement. How can you beat and pinwheel and a star? Kathy opted for traditional red/white/blues from Lisa's fabric collections while Joy pieced her Layered Patchwork block in assorted KT prints.Click HERE for Lisa's blog and the instructions for her Pinwheel Star.
It's not easy to see from the front of the blocks that the triangles on the Layered Patchwork block are topstitched instead of pieced, but very easy to see how many seams are eliminated from the picture of the back of the blocks.

Question of the Week: Christmas presents - did you make any? Did you finish everything or will you still be stitching on December 24th?
I don't try to start new quilting projects this late in the season, but might give a quilt that's already done. However, Robert and I have a couple of upcycled projects to finish yet. Parts are prepared, assembly is required. I can't reveal what they are yet as my kids sometimes follow my blog. We're having Christmas on December 23rd this year, so we better be done before then!
Moda is generously offering a great prize from each of the designers this week as our "Thank You" to all of you for participating in the last year of Moda Blockheads BOW. My giveaway is a Harvest Hill fat 1/8 bundle AND my new Cozy Quilts and Comforts book. Comment below for a chance to win. (NOTE: Robert took the picture with a fat 1/4 bundle, because that's all we had left. The giveaway is for a fat 1/8 bundle.)
Be sure to comment on each designer's blog this week to win a wonderful giveaway from Moda! What a fun Christmas surprise in your mailbox.

ReplyDeleteDid I make presents for Christmas?-of course I did and am still in progress. Some will be finished and some will extend into the new year!! The biggest project is the sectional slipcover my daughter asked for for Christmas-did I say I was a quilter not upholsterer. It is partially done and I see some sleepless nights to get it dobe. She will love it when it is done-I hope. Merry Christmas to you and yours this holiday season Cathy R.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any presents this year. Grand intentions - but that's as far as it got. Love your fabrics - Wish they weren't so hard to find in Canada. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteI finished everything and mailed them all. It's a secret.
ReplyDeleteDidn’t make any Christmas gifts this year. I was too exhausted from the quilted collages I made for the birthdays,
ReplyDeleteNo presents this year...last year was my year to give away many quilts to family members and few friends. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteI have a whole list of things to make and haven't started a single one. Oh well, maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteI am always stitching Christmas gifts up to the very last minute!
ReplyDeleteI always make Christmas quilts! This year I got them done before Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone��
ReplyDeleteI made some comfort quilts to give to a charity.
ReplyDeleteI love making gifts for my quilt buds. Especially for retreats. Can't wait to see the new fabric collections!
ReplyDeleteI have many blocks yet to finish but I am looking forward to getting them all done. Thank you for the fun designs and interesting techhique.
ReplyDeleteI did make and gift some holiday napkins....always a fun present!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics, Lynne. Hope I win the fat quarter pack!
ReplyDeleteThis year I didn't make any Christmas gifts. I have enjoyed this bow and so far have used only KT fabrics, think I have used some from at least 12 different lines I just love them all. Thank you for all your inspiration through this project. Wishes for a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteI have knitted mittens and socks. I'm also in the middle of sewing two little cosmetic bags. Thanks for a chance. Annaleena H
ReplyDeleteBowl cozys ,pot holders, table runners and still not done lol... happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI still have several Christmas gifts that still need to be started! Thankfully, they are fairly quick finishes so here's hoping I get them done!
ReplyDeleteWell I would be telling a lie if I said I have made any presents or completed anything.
ReplyDeleteChristmas has crept up and now I'm panicking!! Yikes 12 days to go. Have most of a cushion cover done so better get sewing .
Thanks Lynne for the time spent in this project that I enjoy so much! Learning so much
ReplyDeleteWe do not celebrate christmas with gifts but we have some birthdays during the holidays so a chance to win a book would be the perfect present for my birthday

ReplyDeleteI was able to complete 2 quilts this year for my parents.
ReplyDeleteI finished two wall hangings to give away. They are done and ready to be shipped.

ReplyDeleteWould love to win!
ReplyDeleteTrying to make some American girl doll clothes for my granddaughter. Notice word trying. Boy are they small. Not as small as Barbie doll clothes though. dorthac at aol.com
ReplyDeleteEvery year I think about making gifts for my sewing friends but somehow I just can’t ever get started on time. I already have your book, but would love to win the fat 8th fabric bundle.
ReplyDeleteNo gifts this year were handmade....want to change that for next year!
ReplyDeleteI did not make any handmade gifts for Christmas but I did give away several substantial gifts during the year! Next year I need to start earlier!
ReplyDeleteHaven't made but two gifts handmade this year. Hubby's birthday is in Jan, so that is still in the works. Will start after Christmas to work on next Christmas. Seems like I'm always going to start in August to work on Christmas, but before I know it, October arrives. Then as soon as I take the turkey out of the oven for Thanksgiving, it's Christmas. You'd think I'd plan better, it's not like they change the holidays around every year. I know it's coming, it just get here faster each year... as I guess we are getting slower :)
ReplyDeleteI made lots of handmade gifts. Still have more to do.
ReplyDeleteNo homemade gifts this year.
ReplyDeleteI had a long lists of gifts I was intending to give this year, but most of them were side-tracked as I've been making kennel quilts for all the dogs and cats affected by the many natural disasters this year. Now it's the horrendous SoCal wild fires--they just keep coming.
ReplyDeleteLots of handmade gifts all done and all wrapped...have more in mind for next year!
ReplyDeleteI also have not made any home made gifts this year, but theres also next year!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any gifts this year, but theres always next year!
ReplyDeleteGreat question. I only nadec2 gifts this year. 2 mini quilts with a cross
ReplyDeleteI am busy sewing away already this am, and in between shifts at work--don't think I'll finish--but it will definitely move me closer to next year! Lol
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any gifts yet.....always have great ideas but they don't ever get finished. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteI am working on one holiday quilt this year and it's for me!
ReplyDeleteThis year I made all my Christmas gifts and many items for donations. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI managed to knit 4 pairs of socks for Christmas presents this year. My daughter just asked for knitted fingerless gloves and a quilted tree skirt. I may get to the gloves this year but that tree skirt will have to be for next year. I also started a quilt for a gift this year but got bogged down with the borders. Again - next year. Merry Christmas to you & yours!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win your book!
ReplyDeleteI made a few ...wrapped and ready. Merry Christmas

ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed following the BOW each week. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteI only made two gifts this year. One lap quilt and one wool table mat (still working on that one). I try not to stress myself out. Will be finishing up my shopping this weekend. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI usually don't make Christmas presents, but, this year I still need to make a pillow case for my youngest granddaughter (1 1/2) for her first (travel size) pillow. Thanks for the chance to win your wonderful book and fabric! Merry Christmas! HUGS... and stitches
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne and Merry Christmas! Yes, I love to give handmade gifts - usually something quilted or made from fabric scraps. I've enjoyed all the Blockhead patterns this year and am excited that you participated. I love the Kansas Troubles lines and would be excited to make another quilt using Harvest Hill and a pattern from your new book! I hope you and your loved ones have a Blessed 2018!!!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Yes I'm sewing away making gifts for family and friends. I took a new class on appliqué, it's a Santa on a bench pillow. I learned how to sew flying geese! Today I'm going to finish it, I hope.
ReplyDeleteSmiles, Sue
A couple of small gifts and maybe a few New Year gifts if time allows.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make any Christmas presents this year, but remember the days of sewing into the wee hours of Christmas Day. Love the layered patchwork blocks.Thanks for the tip. Librarynana@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI never have time to make gifts. But one day I would like to. At this point I get maybe one handmade gift done to give away a year.
ReplyDeleteI am in the final quilting stages of a quilt and I'm also working on some items that are being gifted by others.
ReplyDeleteI made a few ornaments this year, but that has been it for gifts. Thanks for all the hard work on the blockheads.
ReplyDeleteI've completed three items for gifts this year but have several more to complete before the big day! Should have started earlier!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still planning to make for gifts, but this year I'll be making dresses for my 4 little granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteAlmost done with all the stitching on the gifts. Then on to the wrapping. Thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make gifts specifically for anyone but did make table runners/toppers for family to choose from if they want. And no, I didn't get as many done as I wanted to!
ReplyDeleteI'm making quilts for all my nieces and nephews, but won't give them until they are all finished, so not this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteEach year I plan on making Christmas gifts, and each year I end up with "maybe next year." This is yet another "maybe."
ReplyDeleteYes, I did get some Christmas presents made, but will not be able to get quilts made for my grandchildren. I used my thumb too much and the doctor told me I had to rest my thumb and a wear a brace for 6 weeks. I will be working on them in late January .... I hope!
ReplyDeleteCrocheted Frisbees for the grandkids, small quilts and pincushions for friends.
ReplyDeleteI love to make gifts but have not accomplished as I had hoped this year. My two grandsons' quilts--a space quilt and the dinosaur quilt-- are not finished. The boys will receive these quilts for their birthdays in 2018.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI made a table runner which took me one day start to finish which was good since I was meeting the recipient the same day! First time to do that but it was fun.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas:)
Love the fabrics and have a great holiday! Sharon Ray, wnt2trvl@aol.com

ReplyDeleteWe've had some extra blessings added to our family this year. I've made three baby quilts for three little ones and they'll all be going off in the mail on Monday. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI do not make Christmas gifts but I do make a winter/holiday seasonal item for my home which could be a lap quilt, wall hanging, runner etc. which I will work on throughout the year. Over the years it makes a nice collection!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover of your book! I made my grand daughter a quilt for her birthday, which is today! Then I knit 3 cowls for daughter and DILs. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI made a few handmade gifts this year, a lap quilt for my daughter & son in law, a quilt for my grandson's first Christmas and a stocking for him and a few ornaments for family! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI've been otherwise involved, but I have started a quilt for my niece. It MAY be a quilt for Christmas 2018 (or 19??) at the rate I'm going, but things keep happening! By the way, using the layered piecing technique and quite like it.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the time and energy that it takes for the Blockheads. Hope you have a blessed Christmas
ReplyDeleteI made 2 gifts for quilting groups I belong to. I also make what a I call car quilts for my family members. This year I was making car quilts 2 car quilts when carpet we had purchased was suppose to be installed on Dec. 4th. The carpet was flawed, was reordered and that was flawed. It will now be Jan 5th before I get carpet. My sewing room is so full of things from the other rooms I can’t even find my sewing machine, so they will have to wait until 2018. Wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI didn't make any Christmas gifts this year. After 9 weddings in 18 months,I am ready to hear Christmas bells instead of wedding bells. There were quilts (not quite finished) and cross stitched samplers (finished) and brides maids dresses to be hemmed so I am ready to finish wedding quilts and do sewing for me which means I make a quilt and gift it. Such is the quilty life.
ReplyDeleteI have been making wool felt stockings for grandkids. Blockheads is so much fun. I’m excited to see the settings from each of you!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed this quilt along since the first post. I've been behind since Thanksgiving, but I suspect there are many in my boat. There will be plenty of time after Christmas for catching up and finishing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the fun blocks!
I have enjoyed the blockheads. I was able to finish one quilt as a present and working on some stockings.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to make more homemade presents next year because I'll be retired then. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteYes, I made Christmas presents - 17 lap quilts - one for each of my kids and grandkids. The only time we were all able to be together was in early September, so the quilts have been in use all month.
ReplyDeleteI usually end up gifting someone with the "unfinished gift" each year and have to take it back to finish it. Who will be so lucky this year?
ReplyDeleteI just finishe binding a Christmas gift quilt last night.
ReplyDeleteLynn -
ReplyDeleteperfect title for your book -- all your quilts look so cozy!
Always nice to get a surprise around Xmas. All I need are my kids, grands, & great grands to make my day complete. Recovering from knee replacement and feeling a little down as Xmas is passing without much fun for me. Hubby is being nurse, but no decorations or gifts this year.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win anything KT, Lynne! You are my favourite designer! The problem is that I have a heck of a time using my KT fabrics, I only want to hoard them and keep them on display! LOL. Thanks for this chance and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI haven't finished any quilt projects for Christmas this year, just a couple pairs of knitted socks for the granddaughters. Plan to start earlier next year. Love your designs and fabrics, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteI am working on a few things for Christmas. I usually make a couple things. Trusting you have a Merry Christmas with your family! What a wonderful giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI made a few gift card holders, but other than that, no sew-y gifts this year!
ReplyDeleteI don't make gifts anymore.
ReplyDeleteI would really love to win a copy of your book and fabric. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI'm scrambling to get stockings made to send out. Excuse me while I get back to it!
ReplyDeleteThis year I have miraculously completed all the gifts that I made on time. Two large quilts and five table runners. I have started on a new table topper for me but won't expect to enjoy that one till next Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI made soup bowl cozys and potholders for coworkers. I worked on them off and on all year as scrap control projects.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this Blockheads program, the blocks & the comments. They help me to know the designers. Thanks for participating. Yes, I made a tote for a gift but have no time to do the accompanying pouch. But, no worries as her birthday is in January. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI made a few felt ornaments which has turned into my tradition over the last few years.
ReplyDeleteNo quilted Christmas presents this year, but there are 2 quilts in progress for the grandsons. I've also fallen behind on by blockheads- recent surgery. Hoping
ReplyDeletethe new year brings renewed energy. Debbie Barnes
I completed 2 presents to give at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love the directions to the blocks and have learned new techniques throughout the project. Thank you!
I am making a wall quilt for our granddaughter who is a senior at Murray State in Kentucky. Their team's name is The Racers, so the quilt has 4 horse heads on it. This should have been done a long time ago, but I have really dragged my feet because it looked too hard. Last night I finished the 4 heads, and today I will put on the borders. Each head has a lot of pieces, so I have a lot of sewing ahead of me:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win such a generous gift for one lucky winner for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI crocheted hot pads out of cotton yarn in lots of yummy colors. I noticed my hotpads and my friends were all yucky. So decided everyone needed new hot pads!
ReplyDeleteplaying blockhead catch-up. Love love love this challenge and the opportunity to see the blocks from such talented quilters around the world. Happy Holidays to,all.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been looking forward to Wednesday’s for the past 41 weeks! I’ve really enjoyed the Blockheads & have managed to keep up to date with the blocks.
ReplyDeleteI completed several homemade Christmas gifts this year including quilted items, embroidered items, and soaps and scrubs. I love Christmas and usually start in September.
ReplyDeleteI am knitting some hats (must go faster!) and have a couple done, and I'm stitching little bags filled with fun things for different friends. OH! And I made a purse the other day, and one more to go this weekend. I'm at the point where I'm eliminating the things I can't possibly get done that seemed a great plan in November.
ReplyDeleteI don't make Christmas gifts this time of year either--too much pressure!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a fun hop to follow all year, although I'm sorely behind. Maybe next year I'll catch up ????
ReplyDeleteJust decided everyone needs soup bowl cozies for Christmas. I hate when work interferes with sewing!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun Moda Blockhead has been. And how fun is the giveaway this week. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI’m so far behind, I’ll never catch up.
ReplyDeleteJust by looking at the cover I can tell that I will love this book! The fabric collection looks fabulous! Thanks for the opportunity
ReplyDeleteAfter last minute rushing last year and the crazy Fall I have had I, thankfully, decided NOT to make presents this year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the designs and the great giveaway. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLive block 41
ReplyDeleteI love making Christms gifts. This year I have made quilted items, embroidered towel, soaps, no ascrub. I usually start in September as I LOVE Christmas.
ReplyDeleteReally appreciate the Blockheads blocks and the amazing contest! Thank you for all your wonderful work! Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be sad when this blockhead ends. I've looked forward to Wednesdays!
ReplyDeleteAs a new quilter, teaching herself how to piece using these blocks, I can't tell you how much I've appreciated the careful instructions and advice. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much to the Moda designers for their time and talent to give us all the amazing free Moda blockhead quilt blocks. Merry Christmas to you and your families.

ReplyDeleteI only made a few small items. Still working on larger ones. Happy holidays. angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom
ReplyDeleteOne big quilt still needs binding this year, but that's the only gift I made this year. Thanks for the fun blocks!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynne, for all you do and share in the quilting world. I'm a big fan of your fabrics and patterns, too! It's been fun! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm down to the binding on a quilt for my daughter. Probably still be up working on it when Santa drops by.
ReplyDeleteI have made a number of gifts this year. I’ll finish them all, but sadly, won’t finish several things I was making for myself!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the throes of finishing a twin quilt for one of my grandsons. It is down to the border quilting, binding and then burying all those threads! It should be done this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI will DEFINITELY be stitching on Christmas Eve..
ReplyDeleteThe layered patchwork technique is interesting. And I have never seen the back of a block on any post. Nice touch.
ReplyDelete
