Moda Fabrics has announced it is going to launch Blockheads 4 in March! This is a collaboration with a number of their fabric and pattern designers. Each week for 28 weeks (starting Wednesday, March 23, 2022) Moda will release a new blockhead pattern, and every three of four weeks they'll issue a bonus block.
I found out about the sew-a-long about a week before it launched, and decided to join in. Below are the details of what I have planned and some of my initial blocks.
Fabric: I decided to use a layer cake I've had for a while, it's Sweet Beginnings. I picked up a second layer cake and a layer cake of neutral backgrounds. Together, this should give me enough options for the 36 (plus) blocks.
All the patterns are available in the archives.
Wednesday, March 23. Block 1. Designed by Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles (red rolling stones block)
Wednesday, March 30th. Block 2. Cooee by Jenelle Kent of Pieces To Treasure (4.5" block in yellow and red).
Wednesday, April 5th. Block 3. Kouign Amann (pronounced Queen Amaan) by Laurie Simpson of Minick & Simpson.
Bonus Block #1 (Friday, April 8)in large and small versions.
That's it, so far. Another block drops in the morning, and I'll do updates as we go along.
