Moda Blockheads 6 – My Quilt-Along Progress
I’m sewing along with Moda Blockheads 6, and this is where I’m sharing each block as I go.
You’ll find photos of my finished blocks, the fabrics I’m using, and a little about how each one came together. It’s been a fun way to stay inspired and keep making progress week by week.

Hey there, welcome back to another Moda Blockheads 6 share day! I have a lot of blocks to show you today. I fell a bit behind on my blocks because I was working on some other quilt projects (which I’ll share more about here next week!), but I managed to catch up and finished blocks…
It’s another Moda Blockheads 6 share day! Today I’m back with my finished Blocks 15, 16, and 17 – Petal Pusher, Cloud Nine, and Ninth Wonder. Block 15 – Petal Pusher For Petal Pusher, I went with the foundation paper piecing method. It gave me such crisp points and neat seams. If you’re new to…
It’s Moda Blockheads 6 share day. How are your blocks coming along? I’m having a ton of fun with mine and I’m all caught up on blocks 12-14. In my last Blockheads update, I mentioned that my quilt was starting to feel a little busy and that maybe I should add some solids. Well, I…
I’m back to share my ninth, tenth, and eleventh blocks for Moda Blockheads 6 — Polaris, What a Lark, and Folk Star. Things are definitely getting busy (you can see my “messy middle” in the picture below 🙂 ), and I’m starting to see why Moda uses solids in their sampler quilt blocks. It’s time…
Welcome back! Today I’m sharing my seventh and eighth blocks for Moda Blockheads 6 – Bellissimo Star and Sandcastle. Sandcastle Quilt Block The Sandcastle block (Block 8) was designed by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. I follow Sherri on YouTube and always enjoy hearing about what she’s working on—whether it’s quilting, designing fabric, or…
Today I’m sharing my sixth block for Moda Blockheads 6, the Moonbeam block! I loved making this one, especially because I was able to turn the leftover triangles from the stitch-and-flip corners into two bonus star blocks. I’m planning to turn them into a zipper pouch, but that little project is still on my list…
Welcome back! Today I’m sharing my fourth and fifth blocks for Moda Blockheads 6 – Cat’s Cradle, and Dew Drop. I’m all caught up now, and these two blocks were so fun to make. Dew Drop took a bit longer with all those half-square triangles. If I make it again I’ll probably choose a less…
Welcome back! Today I’m sharing my third block for Moda Blockheads 6 — the Sunday Best block. This one came together quickly and has such a classic layout. I love the way the flying geese frame the center four patch— it’s a simple but striking design. If you’re sewing along with Moda Blockheads 6, you…
I’m back to share my second block for the Moda Blockheads 6 quilt-along, and this week’s block is called Crossroads. It came together pretty smoothly, but I did make a couple of small tweaks along the way that I thought were worth noting. The center unit is a quarter square triangle, and the cutting instructions…
If you’re into quilt-alongs and block-based patterns, chances are you’ve heard of the Moda Blockheads series. I’m joining in for Blockheads 6 this year and thought it’d be fun to share my fabric pull and the first of my Blockheads 6 quilt blocks—along with a little behind-the-scenes peek at why I chose these colors. I…
