Some Sewing Is Happening

MBH block in aqua and yellow

I'm not getting a lot done, but I find if I get up to the sewing room super early, like between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM, I can get a thing or two accomplished. The block above is for Moda Blockheads 4, and is from a previous sew-along I did with Piecing the Past. I just liked the block and decided to use it again.

MBH basket block aqua and navy

I have finished enough blocks to say I have enough, but I think I will wait a couple weeks to see what other blocks they might release. I have my eye on at least one block I want to replace and it will be nice to have options. I have loads of fabric left.

Here are my blocks. Can you guess which one I am leaning toward re-doing? Hint: it's a matter of color placement, not construction issues.

  1. 6th grade! Wow.
    I also am about done with MBH4. Maybe one more block. This is my third quilt using the same Lella Boutique’s fabrics and that’s enough.

  2. 6th grade! Wow.

  7. I am stopping with my blockheads too. Now to put it together. Your piecing is impeccable. Is it the all navy block you aren’t sure of? I have some I’m not sure of either but they are staying.

  10. I haven’t done a Block Head yet! I am tempted! Eva is super adorable as usual! Grade 6! I remember you posting pictures of her as a toddler. Time really does fly. Lovely to see you soaking up every moment with her.

  13. Those blocks are looking really nice on your design wall! I’m glad you’re finding some time in your busy days to sew! How is it possible that Eva is starting 6th Grade? A lot of us have been reading your blog since before she was born! Time is flying by!

  16. Such a grown up young lady. I hope she has a great year in 6th grade. I really couldn’t pick a dud on your design wall, but it’s always great to have options. The more blocks the merrier!

  25. I am guessing the dark blue block on the right side of row 2 is the one you’re redoing! It looks a bit darker and less colorful than the others. This is kind of a dangerous guessing game—if people guess wrong you might start to wonder about other blocks too!
    Congratulations to the fabulous Eva— I’m also guessing this will be YOUR year in school! Xox
