Moda Blockheads 4 (with changes) and Current Books
This is the latest block in the Moda Blockheads 4 sew-along. Block 8, "Wild Geese", designed by Kate Spain. It was supposed to be all half-square triangles, but that was too many seams for me. I changed it up and made flying geese units instead. For the 9" block, my sewing units were one 3…

Five books were excellent, three were varying stages of good, and one was just weird. "The Lost Girls of Devon" by Barbara O'Neal was pretty good. The plot of this…
