Moda Blockheads 3: Free Block of the Week (Finished Quilt)

One year later, and it’s time to bind my Moda Blockheads 3 quilt. It sure is nice to see these happy little pops of color framed with the charcoal geometric design.

Moda Blockheads 3

If you’re new to Moda Blockheads–this is a popular (free) block-of-the-week sampler sew along put together by a bunch of us Moda designers. There are 56 blocks total – I made 36 of them (6″ finished size) for my version and set them in a design called “Mama’s Linoleum.” If you’d like to make the blocks, I’ve included a full archive at the bottom of this post.

I’m in the process of binding it now using my favorite machine binding tutorial here.

Full instructions for my layout setting, “Mama’s Linoleum” are all laid out in a post here.

      Thank you! What size of blocks did you end up making? I have another pattern coming out in May that will have a super cool setting for 6″ finished blocks…

    I really love all the quilts but Homespun (homestead) really caught my eye, scrappy controlled. and where can I find a photo of your finished BH3? I would like to see the whole quilt. might that be in the gallery too? in the blog I only could find portions. and thank you for a year of wonderful blocks.

      I haven’t been able to get a full shot yet, quilts can be tricky to photograph like that.

        I too would love to see this whole quilt! It has inspired me in so many ways. Each time I see a fabric collection I wonder how it would look in this quilt, those scrappy colors being set off by the gray and white. This means, of course, that this quilt must be next on my list. Thank you for this design.
