Block Heads Block 36

Broken Dishes by Laurie Simpson is our block for this week, week 36 of Moda Block Heads round 3.

You will find the free block pattern here.

I went scrappy for my block, using a mix of Sugarcreek, Sunnyside Up, Strawberry Jam, and the first time I’ve included my upcoming Spring Brook line in these blocks.  That cute little bee fabric and the two grays are both from Spring Brook which comes out in January.

One tip I have for making this block:  When you are adding the squares/outer triangles, sew from the pieced side of the block rather than the solid square side of the block.  When you can see the seams, you can make sure the seam you are sewing hits right at the intersection.  You won’t lose any triangle points if you hit that intersection.  I think this will makes sense when you sew those last squares to create the outer triangles.

Happy Block Heads day and happy sewing!  Corey
