Blockheads Block #42

This post is going to be full of wintery quilt blocks.  I think I must be in a wintery sewing frame of mind because my color choices are all full of winter shades.  Read to the end for a shop pattern sale.

First up is this week’s Moda Blockheads block, Around the Corner by Carrie Nelson.  Visit the Moda blog for the block pattern. It’s a 12″ block this week and I’ve filled it up with the cool blues and greys we see so often here in Ohio in the Winter—and just a sprinkling of the sunshine that sometimes makes it’s way through.  Thank goodness for those spring flowers that will show up before too long.

Fabrics are from Sunnyside Up, Prairie, Strawberry Jam, and Flower Mill.  Can you believe that we only have 10 more blocks to go and then Round 2 of Blockheads is a wrap?…craziness.

I also wanted to share the first three blocks of my Sew Colorful Spools quilt:

Our color for January is cream.  This goes perfectly with my wintery theme today.  Low volume whites against that mochi polka dot linen.

I am make these blocks along with you guys for the Sew Colorful quilt along.   You can read the intro. post here.   These spool blocks are part of a quilt I designed for Fat Quarter Shop.  It’s available exclusively through their shop–see the pattern here.

I started off with the bundle of creams that Sew Colorful Club Members received in January.  Then, I added just a couple more fabrics from my stash.  Each month is a different color and I’ll be making three blocks each month in the monthly color.

You can join the quilt along even if you aren’t part of the Sew Colorful Club.  Just use fabrics from your stash to make your blocks.

Do you see what I mean about my wintery palette today!=)

Ohio is in the midst of a frigid cold snap today–as are a lot of the surrounding states…it’s so cold!  I thought I’d offer a special discount in my shop for all of my readers.  Just in case, you want to stay in and sew. =)

Use code COLDSNAP20 to received 20% off your pattern order in my shop through tomorrow January 31.

And last but not least, the weekly coloring page for Moda Blockheads.
