Moda Block Heads Block 14

Summer Breeze Block

Welcome to week 14 of Moda Block Heads Round 3.

Today’s block, Summer Breeze, is brought to us by Joanna of Fig Tree Quilts.  You will find the block pattern on her blog here.  I also want to quickly mention the Moda Block Heads round 3 Archive.  If you didn’t bookmark it the last time I mentioned it, make sure that you do!  It’s a wonderful way to keep track of all of this round of blocks in one spot.

For my block, I used Canning Day (gray with pink flowers) and Apricot & Ash fabrics.  When looking at my blocks from this round altogether, I was a little bit light in the gray department.  I try to keep the colors balanced as I make the blocks each week.

To make Summer Breeze, I opted to use triangle paper–specifically Lisa Bongean’s triangle paper.  For the 6″ block, I used the 3/4″ size.  I have a multi pack of her paper on hand so I can use it when I’d like to.  And, I switch up my methods for making HST’s depending on the block and fabrics I’ll be using.  If I am making scrappy HST’s I don’t use the paper as often.  However, when my HST’s are all from the same fabrics I love using it.  It cuts down on so many steps and I find it to be such a time saver.

 Next week, will be my turn to share my next block.  When I shared my first block, my site was quite slow with all of the traffic.  So if, when you stop back next week, the site is slow or you get any error messages try back later in the day!  Until then, stay healthy and safe! Corey
