BH5 block 1 Bright Star <p style="text-align: center;"> Hello Blockheads! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Welcome to Group One for the 5th Moda Blockheads sew along! I'm pretty excited here, for a new sampler quilt project. Or three, as you will see below, and I will explain the details.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm introducing the first official block, even though we had a kick off last week with a posting for a signature block.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKysLpVFoMV7Qg0qxa_e8OzeHaAtLTyS3mWlNS6K2NxlgTeafjelwDmsYHR0WVxzwbyco_9vZd3GMzaGHWZiYUzrlz-Ok0QX2vWduOckbdc9ipnDBcvKy1J-f64wG642-YWYeZ3tNZMH-FqAaDT9RVyMDAxhyWJ52HYUNAx5074AU-sqfbxNZ-CG99K8/s640/IMG_4563.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKysLpVFoMV7Qg0qxa_e8OzeHaAtLTyS3mWlNS6K2NxlgTeafjelwDmsYHR0WVxzwbyco_9vZd3GMzaGHWZiYUzrlz-Ok0QX2vWduOckbdc9ipnDBcvKy1J-f64wG642-YWYeZ3tNZMH-FqAaDT9RVyMDAxhyWJ52HYUNAx5074AU-sqfbxNZ-CG99K8/s320/IMG_4563.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">My block is Bright Star. I was inspired by a beautiful antique quilt, and two journal entries from great great grandmother, Lizzie. On March 31, 1873,Lizzie wrote, "I pieced some on my quilt - 4 half star." Then on April 13, 1873, "The past week I finished piecing my Half Star quilt." This antique quilt is not Lizzie's but I think this is what she could have been making, a block with 4 halves of Lemoyne Stars.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNHi7HjgKy-kMqytR6__w2UY6WXsca3tYQzyzkl6IkjTPG1JxhK8FvXh5twtOIJkn3dIHbi_RgmPGYFcwqoWzoqhFxj_sDCUuNDm55X8Bq8uhnu4Sc0D2qN9xfi2f-1XPLVpv0vFFo5SmAHgSBS3f4Cj4yWkPaQTBHHDn8ifGHuepqzib3AeKbVZ4rIr8/s640/IMG_4560.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I starch as I need to, with a spray starch, placing fabric on a towel on my big board. I let the fabric air dry, or press dry if in a hurry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There are many HSTs in this block...don't count.

Color as you like.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You will make HSTs by cutting squares to make fast HSTs (see pattern) Or you might wish to cut squares diagonally into triangles. I made HSTs both ways, since I was making 4 blocks. I will say, working with starched triangles was very easy. Regardless of method, you will <b>trim the HST unit to size</b> as directed in the pattern. I always prefer to oversize the squares, then trim the pieced units after sewing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR047oyXu6CBVUCIKXExo2uLubI8NAQyHYtRNJmj9wfUpADGnGlpMdfGcxYnqicXtizn9BhcRSP-fm3xf_Md8C2uxXaPCO5o6x6VhYsAXjrjWii8vRaXeWkIVQa0vS4ial6F8_vxGPTiS0tbMaVacKuehORrclNjj4WfGvet9AXxdbxm9SN2xvCmUBAwI/s320/IMG_4437.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR047oyXu6CBVUCIKXExo2uLubI8NAQyHYtRNJmj9wfUpADGnGlpMdfGcxYnqicXtizn9BhcRSP-fm3xf_Md8C2uxXaPCO5o6x6VhYsAXjrjWii8vRaXeWkIVQa0vS4ial6F8_vxGPTiS0tbMaVacKuehORrclNjj4WfGvet9AXxdbxm9SN2xvCmUBAwI/s1600/IMG_4437.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I like Bloc_Loc rulers for trimming.

It's been quite a while... And here we are about to start BH5!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;">So how have you all been? I hope well! It's hotter that imaginable in Texas and elsewhere and no end is sight yet. Maybe under 100 for a couple of days, then back over 100 next week???</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">It has been so long since I last posted, this is a test to see if it still works! </p><p style="text-align: center;">I thought I'd share a few things.... like my fabrics for BH5.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> I'm in the first group that ends mid-November. I'm planning 3 colorways: Christmasy, Halloweeny and traditional Yummy.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Now you will be wanting to know how much fabric. That's not an easy thing to answer. but let me give you my suggestions.</p><p style="text-align: center;">First, if you would like to use one background, buy more that you think you will need, depending on whether you are doing group 1 only, group 2 only, or both. Add a bunch of fat quarters, maybe 20ish, in a palette you love so you can add more as you go along. I know it is frustrating to not know exact amounts, with so many variables.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I do have an unfair advantage that as a designer, I have tons of fabric scraps and pieces from which to choose, so that I can easily substitute if needed. Scrappy with lots of fabrics is my favorite style of quilts to make.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My choices are from most of my fabric lines for Moda. I love how my different lines work together!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Follow me on Instagram @betsy_chutchian for the quickest answer to your questions. I'll have a detailed post here, on the blog, on September 13, my BH5 day, that you won't want to miss. No videos, but lots of photos to help you with my block. I will also be posting on Instagram and our Moda Blockheads Facebook group each week barring the unforeseen stuff that happens around here.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCL50d7-_Kx0IuZCrwv-xmBfEYjZwh72nAQEW5SlUl9K4TNJF4yFygSJ3sNrQw5Eg7qzlZvHizezXF2B3seQAYbLt55Ku9SBWfu5l36bp-C1YwjGUZyZxrs26UXuJjWhggOUFDTxsfaYC7_xA9hRnCSWpOyDPVxBz7j3TznjMtMNbmY9p5AT4O5q8azFQ/s640/Bh5%20christmas%20fabrics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCL50d7-_Kx0IuZCrwv-xmBfEYjZwh72nAQEW5SlUl9K4TNJF4yFygSJ3sNrQw5Eg7qzlZvHizezXF2B3seQAYbLt55Ku9SBWfu5l36bp-C1YwjGUZyZxrs26UXuJjWhggOUFDTxsfaYC7_xA9hRnCSWpOyDPVxBz7j3TznjMtMNbmY9p5AT4O5q8azFQ/s320/Bh5%20christmas%20fabrics.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Above is my Christmasy selection, just reds and greens mostly from Florence's Fancy.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0hVotzUlFDqQcU1Yn4zMi_QD7rEIcEl_hiNifsAJnjBPM_XB6T2yUTOkSWX9m-EM3R7JW1vYVMB2qCh4V3ghUk8ZdnCt4AUpxPK7VfozmRvGHujQ_D2yIq8ZiF42tO1weQW4RYMito0kAgrLJTTr_RYJKlbPoddt8GFAABQGnskJmK862izfmPsoV52A/s640/Bh5%20halloween%20fabrics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0hVotzUlFDqQcU1Yn4zMi_QD7rEIcEl_hiNifsAJnjBPM_XB6T2yUTOkSWX9m-EM3R7JW1vYVMB2qCh4V3ghUk8ZdnCt4AUpxPK7VfozmRvGHujQ_D2yIq8ZiF42tO1weQW4RYMito0kAgrLJTTr_RYJKlbPoddt8GFAABQGnskJmK862izfmPsoV52A/s320/Bh5%20halloween%20fabrics.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Halloweeny version with good old Bramblewood and other blacks and creams and a cheddar from my assorted lines.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMasXVtFIDVN2IashK_UpTtzpXM2tH_XSvYP07WXyh7_bEU5-ZyXcwn0GOGjX1xs7kD6eiKa7OVTgBpUPVVC1kGOhIzVQITgf3Yj2FFuLGsxbsuODqe_6rgKesYXFzuMXIKqOhHAv2FT2btY479kq3GHGKIj5Fo-b5psj62MdSUfsj5nm6UxaolQYEWCU/s640/Bh5%20traditional%20yummy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMasXVtFIDVN2IashK_UpTtzpXM2tH_XSvYP07WXyh7_bEU5-ZyXcwn0GOGjX1xs7kD6eiKa7OVTgBpUPVVC1kGOhIzVQITgf3Yj2FFuLGsxbsuODqe_6rgKesYXFzuMXIKqOhHAv2FT2btY479kq3GHGKIj5Fo-b5psj62MdSUfsj5nm6UxaolQYEWCU/s320/Bh5%20traditional%20yummy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>And last, my yummy traditonal print version, that will run the entire series, but not every week.

In this photo, Lizzie's Legacy, Susanna's Scraps, Nancy's Needle, Mary Ann's Gift, Kate's Garden Gate and Florence's Fancy are all represented, with Dinah's Delight, set to join the others in January. No doubt this group will grow!!!<br /><p style="text-align: center;">Did you notice, each group has more than one background?

With each sampler, I've tried to change up the fabrics to achieve different looks. This time, I wanted you to see the options and how any style, or flavor of fabrics, will work.

Each series has been fun and different. This time we have lots of Moda designers and I hope you will visit them to see what they have made. </p><p>My pile of tiny blocks is growing…and while I’ve thought of settings, I’ll wait until we are finished to let the tiny blocks tell me what type of little quilt they want to be.

It’s my week for block 45, Songbird.</p><p style="text-align: center;">As I mentioned last week, we are in the final round of blocks, so this is the last one you will have from me. This is my 3rd time to participate in Blockheads and I love it. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the journey, each week visiting our blogs, Instagram and Facebook postings.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Songbird</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rkUs4JcTA9w/X7R5ip3nV6I/AAAAAAAADLs/qCmgZ8yI1NIzyKTiMXcdAJZyL4IVb8gngCLcBGAsYHQ/s1773/7DB420D8-3B90-4D34-B7D8-20A87DCAB483.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rkUs4JcTA9w/X7R5ip3nV6I/AAAAAAAADLs/qCmgZ8yI1NIzyKTiMXcdAJZyL4IVb8gngCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/7DB420D8-3B90-4D34-B7D8-20A87DCAB483.jpeg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"> I have to admit, the real name of this block is Vermont, but I changed it. I like to connect the block and the name. If you follow me, you know I like a good story. I see things in blocks. Vermont didn’t speak to me, but I did see bird beaks. Now the weird thing is, I’m not fond of birds, but I do like to listen to birds sing...in the distance. Yes, I’m weird.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Before you race to download my block, I have a few tips to share, more photos, and information for a giveaway.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--gwhC3ChlXg/X7R7rgdH87I/AAAAAAAADL4/1b837sUNOWA-3nEUqdsh61lbzcUr3-kOACLcBGAsYHQ/s1773/F28C53A5-6CB0-464D-BA70-1E8BB5DF5A3D.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--gwhC3ChlXg/X7R7rgdH87I/AAAAAAAADL4/1b837sUNOWA-3nEUqdsh61lbzcUr3-kOACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/F28C53A5-6CB0-464D-BA70-1E8BB5DF5A3D.jpeg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">I made 4 blocks. One 8”, one 4” and two 6”, to try different fabric combinations, and make notes that I hope will give you the best results. So here are my tips for Songbird:</p><p style="text-align: center;">1. Starch all fabrics before cutting.</p><p style="text-align: center;">2. I suggest adding 1/8” to each measurement given for half square triangles. Make HSTs and trim according to the pattern instructions </p><p style="text-align: center;">3. You will want to select one combination of HSTs and press to the light. Press the other combination to the dark. This enables the seams to nest.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eb4fu0wj-Oo/X7SFcGYOOHI/AAAAAAAADMM/UvX1FO0qazwD0LuV9n7Bhzf3vJuTREqcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1773/5339CA65-B73A-445A-83E2-33A06667DBD9.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eb4fu0wj-Oo/X7SFcGYOOHI/AAAAAAAADMM/UvX1FO0qazwD0LuV9n7Bhzf3vJuTREqcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/5339CA65-B73A-445A-83E2-33A06667DBD9.jpeg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">4. The diagonal design poses potential seam allowance issues. I have a way for you to test your sewing before piecing the entire block and discovering that your block is too small, or too big. For example, below is the center section for a 6” block as a check to see that your opposite corners reach 6 1/2” marks on the cutting mat. If the section does not go to 6 1/2”, either too big or to small, this is the time to adjust by either taking a wider seam or a narrower seam by a thread or two in the last seams you made to assemble this section. Assemble the remaining parts in the same manner, according to your adjustment if necessary. Your seam allowance may be spot on, I however have a gremlin in my machine LOL and my 4” was too big. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Use this guide to measure the other sizes, 4 1/2”, 8 1/2”, and 12 1/2” using either a square ruler, or cutting mat.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LyvaZYBVHNY/X7SFGLpkSyI/AAAAAAAADME/UUW6L04qoi8GBCL7XbZOSONbLNPfim66QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/573CB7D7-B891-4894-B77B-C194BA3131A5.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LyvaZYBVHNY/X7SFGLpkSyI/AAAAAAAADME/UUW6L04qoi8GBCL7XbZOSONbLNPfim66QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/573CB7D7-B891-4894-B77B-C194BA3131A5.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love playing with fabrics....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">8” block</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6f0Mx1b_cK8/X7SLPJ2Xn8I/AAAAAAAADM0/5sK3S1O7mjs5atW7d2TWnO7phYyS5yr-wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1773/423F581A-556C-40A7-9150-F393B41423F8.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6f0Mx1b_cK8/X7SLPJ2Xn8I/AAAAAAAADM0/5sK3S1O7mjs5atW7d2TWnO7phYyS5yr-wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/423F581A-556C-40A7-9150-F393B41423F8.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Plaids are from Elinore’s Endeavor.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4”block</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BRzM_3dQ8TM/X7SKkBSykzI/AAAAAAAADMg/BXe2OwTn7_8elFACvc3EAwUsl0V-yIBjQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1773/42CE78AE-5D3A-494A-A011-0BDE529A2123.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BRzM_3dQ8TM/X7SKkBSykzI/AAAAAAAADMg/BXe2OwTn7_8elFACvc3EAwUsl0V-yIBjQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/42CE78AE-5D3A-494A-A011-0BDE529A2123.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">6” block</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W-E9sraMNCA/X7SKiTok_YI/AAAAAAAADMc/SFigGDDK7LYp8tNdAPoUIu7UO7JkdXeRgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1773/ABFA832E-8EBB-436F-9239-16C794B19FDB.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W-E9sraMNCA/X7SKiTok_YI/AAAAAAAADMc/SFigGDDK7LYp8tNdAPoUIu7UO7JkdXeRgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/ABFA832E-8EBB-436F-9239-16C794B19FDB.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">6” block</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4t70Rjikqo/X7SKnYx5GiI/AAAAAAAADMk/IHynZm4vHmgzlh1j_jfuhxT_pfXmF7R-gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1773/CB64D66B-2A15-4AD6-B668-A63284F1D296.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="1773" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4t70Rjikqo/X7SKnYx5GiI/AAAAAAAADMk/IHynZm4vHmgzlh1j_jfuhxT_pfXmF7R-gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/CB64D66B-2A15-4AD6-B668-A63284F1D296.jpeg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Click <a href="https://my.modafabrics.com/webfiles/BH3_45_Betsy-Chutchian_Songbird.pdf">HERE</a> for Songbird pattern. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Please check on our other designers to see what they have made.

At a time when we are missing family gatherings, and the decision of whether to gather for Thanksgiving is so emotional, and difficult. I’ve been thinking of funny things that have happened over the years at our family get togethers. I’d love to hear one of your funny traditions or memories of your gatherings. Something that makes you smile or giggle thinking about it. Here’s one of my favorites from Halloween 2012. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l7VW5-xRMIg/UatFa7PuxeI/AAAAAAAAAik/FtKrR3YnnI40nrkc56naKTWQaqVXiGc1QCPcBGAYYCw/s213/Mom%2Band%2BMatt%2Bhalloween%2B2012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="159" data-original-width="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l7VW5-xRMIg/UatFa7PuxeI/AAAAAAAAAik/FtKrR3YnnI40nrkc56naKTWQaqVXiGc1QCPcBGAYYCw/s0/Mom%2Band%2BMatt%2Bhalloween%2B2012.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We hosted Halloween parties for years. In 2012, <span style="text-align: left;">Matt was a “serial” killer aka “cereal” as you can see inside his suit coat LOL, and my Mother was a black widow spider. My parents always came in costume. Such a fun memory of happy times. Aren’t you glad I don’t have a photo of my grandfather as he asked my grandmother one holiday why he had on two pairs of underwear.

Stacy has created a lovely block for us this week, very colorful and really scrappy...I love it.</p><p style="text-align: center;">You'll see from my photos how the block should be assembled as Stacy created, and then what I ultimately sewed together, after a few encounters with the seam ripper.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Selecting the fabrics for the rainbow is so much fun, and if you are like me, it's hard to decide which prints to choose. I chose the 8" block this time.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Fabrics are from Susanna's Scraps, Sarah's Story, Nancy's Needle and a few from Elinore's Endeavor.

Lately, the only thing I have to tell is agonizing over the road construction of my street. So why tell the story now....It's been going on since April....what a giant mess. Curbs and gutters and new sidewalks went in beautifully with only a few rainy weather days to delay. Projected time to finish the street was the end of August. HMMM it's now the end of September.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few weeks ago, the city was ready to pave. They had created the longest dust bowl in Texas, removing the layers of old pavement where we now have, gray grass, gray leaves, gray cars, gray doors and windows, and now gray pumpkins. Well, 2 weeks ago one worker told Steve there might be a gas line issue, another said no problem. After Steve calls the gas company, they said they would check on the issue and call the next week...no, they called the next morning. Main gas line for the street was 4" from the surface, had to be replaced and set deeper. ok. Why didn't they know this before getting to this point??? Then the crew ran into water and sewer line issues, then hit a gas service line a couple of houses away, nothing bad happened but I'm a nervous wreck. Fire trucks with hoses stretched and ready. Oh yay. Now every house is getting new lines and meters. All has to be done before the street can be paved. New projected finish date is end of October. We shall see. Today they have dug the 4th giant hole in our yard in prep for shutting off the gas and replacing the line and meter. Scary. Every house has the same story. I swear one hole next door is deep enough to bury several bodies. The noise has been tremendous and except for rainy days, non stop. Most weekends have been quiet, thankfully. We are all congested and the dust is unending, but luckily allergy meds keep my sniffer working.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Actually, Fractured Rainbow is a very appropriately named block, for me, this week.

You will see in your pattern, one way of making the large cream triangle section. below is another way. I'm all about choices. Once you have your pattern in hand you will see the difference, and see why I wanted to show you this alternative. Pick the method for you or combine the methods, as I did.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Look at the pieced brown triangle, our pattern gives that construction for the basket base, for the background, and for the empty space above the base.

This Moda BlockHeads3 Week 28. Is this the halfway point?? Yes, it is. Today's block is Broken Dishes by Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Designs. This is one of my most favorite blocks. I think you will enjoy it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a few stories to tell. Words. Images. Memories. Broken Dishes and tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Rachel was about 2 years old she picked up the dish in the first photo that was on my mother's coffee table and slammed it down on the table like it was one of her stuffed animals. wham, crack, then mother's tears. It is a super old flow blue bowl. Beautiful. Broken. Why Rachel did it, no reason, not having a tantrum or anything. It was just there, within her reach. I think it was the only time mom ever got upset with her. So, Daddy promised to fix it...but the glue only held one piece in place. Mom put it and the pieces away in the drawer of the hutch in her kitchen. Many years later when their house burned it found the bowl and the pieces carefully wrapped in pink Kleenex, in that drawer. I brought it home and put it in my kitchen junk drawer, until today. </div>

If you saw my Instagram post yesterday, you saw the photo (shown below) for Fruitcake, my quilt for the new Moda All Star book, Cakewalk, which will be coming in September.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fruitcake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think of, when you hear the word fruitcake, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the colorful and much maligned traditional Christmas dessert?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love it or hate it, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a couple of fruitcake tales...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may be the only one in my family that would not eat fruitcake. Making it was a have to do, have to have it situation come hell or high water every Christmas. I enjoyed going to Safeway with mom and my aunt (mom never drove a car) to purchase the candied fruit...what a gorgeous display of red and green cherries, pineapple, citron, raisins, nuts. I remember trying a cherry once mom got the ingredients together on the kitchen table. Oh my. Can you see the look on my face? even now, I'm cringing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom taught me to use a knife at a really young age to chop the pecans, not too fine, big enough but not too big that it would prevent making a pretty slice once baked. Chopping nuts had rules. Several thicknesses of newspaper placed on the table with one big sheet of wax paper, folded in half. Once in place, mom poured the pecans in front of me onto the paper and handed me the butcher knife. She only showed me once, that I remember, how to hold the knife and chop. (No matter what we made, chopping pecans was my job from then on) I still LOVE to chop pecans and to this day my favorite knife is still a butcher knife. I did the nut chopping while she did the fruit chopping. So pretty. Together we made the batter. I stirred, The spices smelled heavenly and the batter tasted SO good. Yummy. Finger licking, bowl scraping, goodness. and, YES, I survived raw eggs in the batter. That was our routine for all of my school years, right after Thanksgiving...had to make it, Daddy's favorite, and it was better if made ahead...r i g h t.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It WAS beautiful, sliced and fanned around on the cake plate. Memories. Eventually it was too much trouble and mom stopped making it and I was making my own traditions. Every Christmas someone wished somebody had made it, mostly Daddy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you stand one more story??? I'll make it quick...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, so you already know how much my family liked fruitcake, but my dad's mother made a different kind called Japanese fruitcake. It was truly a have to have, come hell or high water, and for this story, regardless of tired daugher in law and new granddaughter, tradition for her. Mama Reed was quite a character, she had the green thumb that gave me the angel wing begonia when I married. All her cakes had to be multi layered, 5-7 layers, or they weren't fit to eat. I can hear her now. LOL She never followed a recipe. I never saw a cookbook in her home. She either made this up, or got it from the Dallas Times Herald recipe page, I don't know. But what I do know, as told by my mother, is that the year I was born, Mama and Papa spent Christmas Eve at our house. I was not quite a month old. Mama walked in the door, greeted mother with the words, 'come on Florency, we've got to make the Japanese Fruitcake.' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To hear Mother tell that story, she would have sooner have died than to have to make that cake, and Christmas dinner with me only a few weeks old. This cake had a LOT of raisins and pecans and I don't know what else, but Mother said she and Mama made the required layers and 7 minute icing for the filling and the outside of the cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They iced it on a cake plate, or maybe on the cake stand I inherited. My grandmother was quite pleased. Mother was sick and tired and I was crying.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas Day, the once pretty cake, cracked from the center and pulled apart...I don't know if they got one pretty slice. Papa had cake before dinner. Daddy said the cake was delicious, looked like it always did, because it always fell apart. But, Mother said, in one of her totally disgusted tones of voice, it was the biggest mess, she had ever seen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when layer cake precuts would be the topic of the next book, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew exactly which cake I would make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These endless days at home are making me look at my things and old photos, and they bring back such fond memories. I cry, smile, laugh, and then long to know more. Why didn't I ask more questions? I listened and remembered well, I think, but the mind does have selective memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Thanks for stopping by and listening. </div>

This is Jen Kingwell's week with block 27, Proposal. Shhh. Today is Jen's Anniversary. Happy Anniversary Jen!!! I thought June was the wedding month, but I certainly know a lot of people who got hitched, like me, in July. I married July 10th, 1976. 44 years ago....that's a lot. It has blown by really; yet, some days it's been and eternity! LOL. I married my best friend, the boy next door. Yes he really was the boy next door. He is still my best friend and that is the best part. I'll tell you more in a minute.....<br />
<br />
We were asked to take a picture of our wedding photo with our block as a surprise for Jen. That meant looking in the album, and remembering....<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZwfNn22FNXc/Xw5VOazL_pI/AAAAAAAADCY/cMORZWBjz3IAZkzzJrfFhYl3rYfKmrUFgCPcBGAYYCw/s640/IMG_7585.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZwfNn22FNXc/Xw5VOazL_pI/AAAAAAAADCY/cMORZWBjz3IAZkzzJrfFhYl3rYfKmrUFgCPcBGAYYCw/s320/IMG_7585.jpg" /></a></div><br />For Proposal, which looks like a diamond, I chose the 6" version. Background is from Nancy's Needles, yellow is from Susanna's Scraps, and blue from Sarah's Story. The fabrics you choose will be wonderful. I do have a couple of helpful hints. I'm the first to tell you what not to do....I remade 2 quadrants, several times... keep the seam ripper handy. Just saying....tips below.<br /> <br /> <img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xGKqFZd0g0E/Xw5VONak0pI/AAAAAAAADCM/7Zv-ry-0BhAgj2lUCsFYJMMiWYhdXzWFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_7584.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div> <a href="https://jenkingwelldesigns.com/blog"> <font size="5">Click Here</font> </a>for Jen's pattern, Proposal </div><div><br /><div>My best tip is pay attention, I just started sewing, forgetting the quadrants are mirror images. I got my A's and B's mixed up. And I hardly ever pay attention to numbers.</div><div>Mark your colors on the printed side of the 4 papers in order of the way you want the colors to appear.</div><div>I also marked the direction I wanted to press. Notice the arcs and arrows. I started with A4 background in opposite quadrants and with B1blue in opposite quadrants. The seams are pressed to the right on the top row and to the left on the bottom row, this way when you sew the 4 units together, the seams will nest. Then I pressed the adjoining seams open. Hope this helps.</div><div> </div><div> <img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7FMJhJKkmVE/Xw5VMRldfQI/AAAAAAAADB8/qM9Jmlj4Xgoa0pxJeCbBJzcBhPY4xBUswCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_7579.jpg" /></div><div>Hope you enjoy piecing Proposal. It's a cutie,. Thanks Jen! Hope you and Richard have, or had, a wonderful anniversary celebration. </div><div>I had one more photo of the block to go here and blogger ate it.</div><div>Oh well.</div><div> </div><div> <img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ein4dC7oEWM/Xw5VM8V5QmI/AAAAAAAADCA/-rHi1vt9bmwF_iH6V-9Ani5Bn1_MHoWEACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_7582.jpg" /></div><div>We married in my parents living room. Steve's brother and my sister in law stood up with us. My brother took the photos. It wasn't fancy, just perfect. We had our nearest and dearest of family attending. It was a perfect Saturday morning that July, not scorching like it is now. I made the punch and petit fours for our little reception. Then we flew off to Acapulco for our honeymoon and the following Saturday, we had our reception, hence the tropical Mexican attire and tans. LOL</div><div><div> <img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1DBWJhWOap0/Xw5VNqRSY_I/AAAAAAAADCI/cf39gFJUTPErKKBIIjrisOoqoMVqVPZ4wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_7583.jpg" /></div></div></div><div>I was quite lucky to be back in Texas....when we arrived in Acapulco, the police ushered me off to a private room without Steve. The asked me a bunch of questions, and being a totally naive 20 year old, answered their questions never even thinking of what could happen....MY VISA had expired the day before!!! and Steve's was fine!!! We never even looked at them when we picked them up from the travel agency. Young and stupid!</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know what is up with Blogger. Editing is impossible. There are tons of new symbols I don't understand. I like everything centered and today I can only center the photos, at least I hope they are centered!! I can't get to the list of all the designers for fear of losing all I have written. UGH Please visit them, the links are on older posts.</div><div><br /></div><div>Stay safe, stay well, wear a mask my friends.</div><div>Until next time,</div><div><br /></div>Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01016565001215242436noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744887380758811454.post-62127116335260617412020-07-08T06:00:00.000-05:002020-07-08T06:00:10.378-05:00Happy BlockHeads3 Wednesday Week 26 Zig Zags by Janet Clare and Winners!!<div data-original-attrs="{"style":""}" style="text-align: center;">

<span data-original-attrs="{"style":""}" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #201f1e; font-family: arial, "default sans serif", verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;">One would think that all this staying at home would leave me with some free time...ha ha. </span></div>

<span data-original-attrs="{"style":""}" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #201f1e; font-family: arial, "default sans serif", verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;">Isn't there always something that needs tending to, I haven't even sewn more that a block or two since last week...so where did the week go?? Taxes. Days of working on the taxes that we were so happy to have postponed from April! </span></div>

<span data-original-attrs="{"style":""}" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #201f1e; font-family: arial, "default sans serif", verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;">Kids in the neighborhood shot off fireworks for days.

Below, is my original choice of fabrics, but to me, the two blues were not close enough in value so I pieced more triangle squares and I'm happy with the above block, which is the 4" version</div>

Well, Happy Moda BlockHeads Wednesday! My apologies for not posting for several weeks. Now it's time to catch up. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I've continued to post blocks there, and on the Facebook group. Like all of you, I'm saddened by issues in the news, stressed with cabin fever, and sick at the thought of what to cook for dinner. Are you as tired of preparing 3 meals a day as I am??? We were lucky to have a chance to dine in a restaurant with our kids, for Father's Day but wow, it was weird. Now, it's back to take out....and cooking. I've been enjoying sewing just for me, not for a post or for business, just for me. And, now that the market quilts are back from my quilter, I'm enjoying a little time in the evening with needle and thread, binding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you will stick with me through this long post for a treat.....blogger is acting up so links may not be working when you read this...soooo frustrating.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hard pressed to find blooming flowers in my yard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little dab of pink bloom is from a dragon's wing begonia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I married, almost 44 years ago, my paternal grandmother gave me a pot of angel wing begonias. She could literally stick her thumb in the ground and it would take root. I spent 2 weeks with Mama and Papa every summer and loved hanging out in their yard, it was like going through a city's botanical garden. Over the years that original plant grew and many cutting made more fabulous blooms. Cats and kittens have slept under the lush leaves and giant cascading blooms. Thought I had lost the last remnant of it last winter, but just today I noticed the scraggly plant is starting to to bloom. Bless you Mama, You blessed my home 44 years ago and through that plant, and my cherished memories, you are with me still. I've got two stems by the kitchen window taking root now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mama Reed taught me to sew on a treadle one summer. that passion took root...just wish I had her gift of gardening.</div>

Happy Block Heads Wednesday. Welcome to week 21, XOXO by Lissa Alexander, aka ModaLissa. As you can imagine, XOXO is a really cute block for hugs and kisses. Couldn't we all use some hugs and kisses from our kiddos?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seems like all I do is take photos and sew these days. I'm glad I'm busy with lots going on as usual. At the end of the post, I'll share more of Elinore's Endeavor fabric and story.</div>

And now Elinore</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm forever inspired by the story of strong women, women who regardless of circumstance, endeavor to make the best of every situation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Elinore Pruitt Stewart was born in Indian Territory of what is now Oklahoma, in 1876. She and her siblings were orphaned in 1894. She cared for her siblings until she married in 1902 and shortly before her daughter was born in 1906, Elinore lost her husband in a railroad accident.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alone, with and infant to raise, Elinore and Jerrine moved to Denver and found employment frist doing laundry and then housekeeper for a widowed schoolteacher. In 1909, Clyde Stewart placed an ad in the Denver Post seeking a housekeeper. Elinore answered the ad and packed up Jerrine and took the train to Wyoming, with her head set on claiming her own homestead.</div>

Life was hard on the ranch with Mr Stewart. Chores and taking care of Jerrine and helping with the animals took up most days , but Elinore did visit neighbors, helped deliver babies, and took Jerrine camping. Elinore filed a claim next to Mr Stewart and not long after they married.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Elinore wrote letters to her friend and former employer of her days in Wyoming and those letter were published in <i>Atlantic Monthly</i> magazine and later published in a book, <u>Letters of a Woman Homesteader</u>. In 1979, and movie was made about her life, <i>Heartland</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you would like to know more about Elinore, the book is available on Amazon, or the library, and try to find, or rent <i>Heartland</i>...it's wonderful.</div>

Elinore was an inspiration as well as the time period, late 1800s. Lots of blacks, indigos, cadet blues chocolates and shirtings were my choice for colors and prints....then we added an early big floral and another of those wonderful netting designs, also early to where the time period spans 1830-1910.</div>

I showed the quilts I made, last week, now this week I'm showing the fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love fabric, did you know that??? LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Romantic florals mix with practical, everyday prints so that I think we have something for everyone.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

It's my day Crossroads by Betsy Chutchian<div style="text-align: center;">
Crossroads, my block for Week 17 of Moda's Blockheads 3, unintentionally</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seems to fit where we are. So, where are we? Yes, it is Wednesday, but I compose the post on Tuesday. A friendly, innocent question on Monday reminded me that this week was MY week. I knew that...last week. But, I was busy with some secret sewing and completely lost track of day and time. Do you wake in the morning and struggle to remember what day it is or, is it just me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friends will say "have a good weekend", like there really is one, a weekend, I mean. Weekends seemed to end when husband retired, now quarantine confirmed it, ended.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the country is opening, with all the uncertainty for health and economy.<br />
I pray all will be well wherever you are. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crossroads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you suddenly have to make a block, you start pulling fabrics. Wow, I had so many combinations I wanted to try. My pattern has all four sizes, so there you have it...I made four blocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below you will see color options for you to make in any size block. Of course, I'm here to inspire. I look forwand to seeing your combinations on Instagram or Facebook.</div>

Will I use all these blocks in the quilt, probably not, but it was certainly fun playing with the possibilities.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tips...</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Starch your fabrics before cutting parts.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For whichever size you wish to make, I like to add 1/8" to geese rectangles and to squares for sky </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before cutting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our technique is for stitch and flip corners to make the flying geese units.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sew as directed in the pattern and press to the corners before trimming away the excess. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, trim to the size indicated for each size block.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love using Block_Loc Flying Geese rulers but couldn't locate the 1 1/2" x 3" until I was nearly finished so I trimmed with my 4 1/2" square and it worked fine. Adding the extra 1/8" ensures that you will have a 1/4" seam at the top of the goose. You won't want to cut off his nose when sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy my block and making flying geese. I love flying geese.</div>

Happy Moda BlockHeads Wednesday. Yes it is Wednesday, right?? All the days are running together, one is the same as the next. So, hope you have had a good week. Busy here, secret sewing occupies most of my days. Isn't it a nice diversion to stop and make just ONE block?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week Sherri has designed for us a fun and fast block she calls Dream. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't it sweet? Dream. I think we are all dreaming of good health for our world, friends, family and community.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time you will have 4 sizes in the pattern, so decide the size block to make and go with a scrappy palette or or keep it simple and you will have this block done super quick!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose a scrappy mix of Susanna's Scraps, Sarah's Story, and Nancy's Needles.<br />
This block is 6"</div>

Happy Wednesday! are you all caught up with BlockHeads 3? Thank goodness I am! LOL. I love this week's block, number 14...Summer Breeze by Joanna Figueroa, of Fig Tree Quilts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I said last week, I see images in the blocks, well most of the time. That's how blocks were created, an image, stitched into a patchwork design. I just take it a little farther with a story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you see Joanna's blocks think about what you see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first image, for me, comes from its name, Summer Breeze. I think back to summer evenings as a kid. We all played outside every evening, Capture the Flag, or Kick the Can, mostly. I loved those cool, dark evenings. Cool, not in temperature, but cool from the warm breeze that hit the mist that had fallen on fell on me, as I crouched in hiding, beneath Daddy's long row of mimosa trees. When in bloom they have a heavenly scent and drip this fine, but sticky, mist. One of the fabrics in my block, reminds me of the pretty pink mimosa blossoms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, when studying the block design, I see a spinning shape, like a child's pinwheel blowing in the wind. Then, I thought of Daddy's tops, spinning tops, and placed them in the photo. Comments last week from Krya and on Instagram mention tops, in connection with Daddy's marbles, so...</div>

Lastly, I'd like to share some photos I have taken of the quilts for Nancy's Needle and the booth from last October in Houston when Nancy debuted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case you didn't know, Nancy was my great great great aunt. She and my great great grandmother Lizzie were sisters and, Susanna was their younger sister.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lizzie's family called Nancy, Kate, after her middle name Catherine. Reading LIzzie's journals took a bit of deciphering to figure out exactly who was who. Regardless, it was easy to see, they all were proficient seamstresses and quilters.</div>

They did a pick up Saturday. Easter goodies and Madison brought us queso and chips. There's a story... for another time... Social distancing with Mimi and Grandad, of course.</div>

Week 13, The Baldwin by Jen Kingwell<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Wednesday! A busy week at home has flown by and, here we are with Block 13!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jen Kingwell has designed a super fun and unique block for us in The Baldwin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jen's block comes in 4 sizes and can be paper pieced, or hand pieced, as she prefers. Hats off to Jen for hand piecing this block....<insert clapping hands here>...<br />
I paper pieced my 6" version. <insert big grin here></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first look at some of the patterns our designers create, I immediately 'see' something in them. Sometimes, what I 'see' evolves into a story as it has today....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided on a two color palette, plus background block. I was thinking of a flower when selecting fabric, then once made, I didn't see the flower anymore, but rather a marble. Yes, a marble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are my Dad's marbles. I lose my marbles on occasion, lol, but always know where his are. Dad was born in 1919 and these were his a child. My parents saved all sorts of things. These were in his desk. Now, when I see Jen's block, I won't see a flower, but instead will see Max's Marble. </div>

It's fun to see the blocks grow in number and space.<br />
I included all the different sizes I have made and will make final selections later,<br />
OR,<br />
include them all.</div>

For Hampshire Star, I used a combination of Sarah's Story and Nancy's Needle fabrics. Loved figuring out where each fabric would go.<br />
Thanks Janet for such a fun design to piece! </div>

What a week, what a month, come to think of it. Let's take a break from the news and sew. This week has the perfect block for Spring. What could be more timely than Blooming Love??? I love this block so before I go any farther, Thank You, Robin for the design! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, let me ask you ALL how you and your family are? Safe and well? Yes, I hope and pray so. All well here, thankfully. What a gift, it is to sew, to play in fabric to distract us from the disruption of everything in our lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Moda for BH3! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a pleasure to be with you each week even if only to print a pattern or to click on a link.<br />
Thank you for taking the time to visit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry I missed posting last week. Several deadlines hit at the wrong time and something had to give. If you missed my version of Stacy's block Windmills, it will be down below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is the very pretty Blooming Love with a few of my treasures...a pitcher I gave my mom one Mother's Day, a jelly server that was my great grandmother Florence's, and a butter pat from my collection.</div>

Selecting the fabrics was easy, as I knew what I wanted, but the placement, as you will find when you have your pattern, really made me think! And what a good thing to have to think! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose to make a 6" size, and it is sooo sweet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dug around in the scrap bag for some Lizzie's Legacy, Evelyn's Homestead, Susanna's scraps, Sarah's Story and Nancy's Needle. What fun to play with them all!</div>

One last thing before I go, did you see, or follow the postings on Instagram for my mystery doll quilt?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For several days I posted photos and clues. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the idea when starting to decorate for Spring. All photos and clues are on my Instagram feed @betsy_chutchian or search Instagram for #pickledpinkmysterydollquilt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was another fun diversion and you can still make it if you wish.</div>

Happy Moda BlockHeads3 Wednesday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's BlockHeads block 9 is designed by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique. I love the name of this block, Taos, one of my favorite places to visit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been a busy Mimi this week caring for Madison while she is on Spring Break, so this is a short and sweet post....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my version of Taos, in 3 sizes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First is the 4" version</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2_dL3nvfPiI/XmhHI_rY9pI/AAAAAAAACsQ/JTMLWVSuuughtYlQkALNHCQLR8R5ELKtQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_6542.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2_dL3nvfPiI/XmhHI_rY9pI/AAAAAAAACsQ/JTMLWVSuuughtYlQkALNHCQLR8R5ELKtQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_6542.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, the 6" version.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OpoxoXRP9Sc/XmhHKP8CiUI/AAAAAAAACsc/7ETapwTiydgSYU-pxMpeFsz0xK-D2A-0wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_6557.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OpoxoXRP9Sc/XmhHKP8CiUI/AAAAAAAACsc/7ETapwTiydgSYU-pxMpeFsz0xK-D2A-0wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_6557.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And last the 8" version</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cOqWp4QrIhc/XmhHKnnk0yI/AAAAAAAACsg/xdVdn2bYOzYk8lT_eHbxJ20MaPqIYpHgQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_6558.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cOqWp4QrIhc/XmhHKnnk0yI/AAAAAAAACsg/xdVdn2bYOzYk8lT_eHbxJ20MaPqIYpHgQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_6558.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love playing with fabrics, can you tell?? I'm mixing Susanna's Scraps, Sarah's Story and Nancy's Needle. Watch for Nancy to arrive this month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Wednesday! Today's block 8 for BlockHeads 3 is by Laurie Simpson, 9-Patch Block.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laurie, like me, likes traditional blocks, and with these, it's all about the fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We actually have 2 blocks for you today. Laurie's block, as she planned it, couldn't be made in an 8" or 4" size so an alternate was created to give everyone, including me, an 8" block for the quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, that pattern didn't come through until after I made the 6" size...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then I made the alternate in 8" and 4"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All are fast and fun to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are my versions for block 8.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, the 6" block from the original pattern. I played with combining Sarah's Story with a dab of Nancy's Needle in the center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9-Patch Block</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QyqTHgopxZg/Xl8ILr7I-pI/AAAAAAAACrY/bM2WxBW1Tc0yctHixZrkVZ_f-SxCIqPzgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_6504.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QyqTHgopxZg/Xl8ILr7I-pI/AAAAAAAACrY/bM2WxBW1Tc0yctHixZrkVZ_f-SxCIqPzgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_6504.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I made the 8" alternate, same fabric lines.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then I made the 4" using all Nancy's Needle prints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like the 4" in just 2 fabrics...such tiny pieces, which I love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So which will I use in my quilt? good question and I don't have answer. I'm the world's worst decision maker. I love making the blocks, to see how the fabrics work. Yes, I could cut out all the pieces, but what a waste that would be if I didn't like it. LOL I would rather cut and sew. I like having orphan blocks for other sampler quilts, Or maybe I'll need them all in this project.</div>
