This week is a little bit special – it’s one of the themes behind this year’s Block Heads, especially as it pertains to adding new designers. Sunday – August 5th – was National Friendship Day and National Sisters Day. So let’s celebrate our friends and our sisters – of the heart and those related to us.
UPDATE: We had a power outage last night and while the juice was restored early this morning, it took a little while for the website to get back up to full speed.

It’s also Jo Morton time! And Block Heads Wednesday.
Today is about Ducks and Ducklings, better known as Block 10. The ducks and ducklings are big – this block finishes at 12″.
Moda Michele – one “l” – made the block above using Jo’s New Hope collection.

This is Jo’s beautiful coming-in-September collection, Spice It Up. Just in time for Fall!
If you haven’t seen the Color Cuts 2 yet, Spice It Up is one of the half-dozen collections that is well-represented.
From top to bottom, the Color Cuts II Colors are – Pecan Pie / Red Maple / Gingerbread / Juniper.

Happy Wednesday!
This is a beautiful block and I would love to make it. However, I have been running in circles following links here and there and the block’s instructions are not to be found.- Where are the instructions for block 10? A direct link to the block would be best. Thank you. 🙂
There are no instructions posted on Jo Morton’s Blog . . .
It appears that Jo has not posted her block yet. The link to her blog takes you to a page that has not been updated since June. Need a better system for the blocks. Why can’t Moda post the patterns instead of the links?
Exactly! It shouldn’t be this hard to find the patterns every week. Very frustrating!
wow! I’m glad it wasn’t just me!
……and I thought I was the only one have issues locating the patterns.
Ladies – let’s try to remember that these DESIGNERS are offering their talents free and might not wake up as early as we do. We’re all excited to get the next block…but we need to show patience and kindness.
Here Here! Thanks for saying that.
I am not finding the pattern. When I go to Jo’s page I find block 48 from the first Blockheads. Did I miss something? Love the block!
Please let us know when the instructions for the newest block is available. Looks beautiful!
running in circles trying to get the instructions
In my humble opinion…Jo’s blocks are WORTH waiting for!
Link is not working – block is beautiful! I have loved all the blocks in this round
Jo has fixed the issue……..a typo. Her blog has been updated.
Any thoughts on printing the instructions in a way that doesn’t use so much ink? With the colored backgrounds this really uses a lot of ink .
