Block Heads Round 3 Block 5

Block 5

It is week 5 of this round of Block Heads.  And that means, it is time for Brigitte’s Love block.

To download the pattern for this fun, paper pieced block visit Brigitte’s blog.

Love Block

For my block, I used some of the pinky peaches from Sugarcreek and Canning Day (LOV are from Sugarcreek and E is from Canning Day).  Canning Day comes out this month so not too much longer until it will be hitting your local quilt shops!  I know some of you will be new to paper piecing.  I put together a tutorial for paper piecing during the Sunday Best Sampler quilt along.  If you are new to paper piecing, you might find it helpful.

First 5 Blocks

Here are my first 5 blocks…and a little tip for you guys.  It’s a great idea to lay out your blocks periodically to see how all of the fabrics/colors are jiving.  By looking at this photo, I can easily see that I might want to add a little bit of that orchid color to another block before too long.  With 56 blocks being made, color adjustments can be made along the way.  But, it’s great to get a good visual every now and then so you can add colors you might have overlooked.

If you are just now joining Moda Block Heads, I suggest joining the Block Heads facebook group.  In the “Files” section of the Facebook group, you can find the first 4 blocks that have been released.  Block 5 is available on Brigitte’s blog today and will be added to the Files section of the Facebook group on Friday.  Also, in the “Announcements” section of the Facebook group, links to blocks are posted as well as important information.
