Coronation

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a blockhead. That is, I’m a member of the more than 13,000 devoted quilters who are following the free block-of-the-month program called Moda Blockheads. Beginning March 8 this year and continuing each Wednesday for forty-eight weeks, I receive a free pattern download for a 6” block. Most of them involve traditional piecing techniques, but there have been a few that require needle-turn applique. When I’ve completed a block, I can post it on the Blockhead Facebook page and almost immediately receive at least seventy responses. Talk about instant gratification! Just like last year’s 365 Challenge, I’m putting my own twist on the patterns. Mine won’t all be made with the same colors, and they’ll be whatever size suits me. https://www.bearcreekquiltingcompany.com/moda-blockheads-2017/ defines blockhead as “a quilter who likes to make a wide variety of quilt blocks, who has lot of random quilt blocks but still wants to make more.” Yep, that’s me.
