Happy September! And Happy Block Heads Wednesday!
It’s Week 14 and we’ve got a little surprise in store for you today – and for the next few weeks. September is National Women’s Friendship Month. After the finish of Block Heads 1, we wanted to mix things up a little bit. We considered many options having to do with the blocks and quilts, but we all agreed that what we really wanted to do was add a few more Block Heads to the mix – who just happened to be women.
So for the next six weeks, there will be two blocks shared each week – one by the original Block Head, and one by the friend (or friends) they invited.
Today’s blocks are:
Block 14 – Fidget Spinner Instructions – Lynne’s Blog
Block 15 – Corner Pocket Instructions – Me & My Sister’s Blog
This is Moda Michele’s Block 14 – Fidget Spinner. It’s made with fabrics from Jo Morton’s Gratitude collection.
The next thirteen blocks will all finish at 6″, and because there are two each week, a few are on the easier side. So have a little fun with variation… if that’s your thing.
This is Michele’s Block 15 – Corner Pocket. It’s made with fabrics from Betsy Chutchian’s Hope’s Journey. (Love the golds – cheddars?)
Me? I’m a more than a wee bit behind with sewing this week – I’m in the midst of moving! Boxes everywhere. And I can’t get to the ironing board. Wish me luck for next week!
Note: If the blogs aren’t up or the links aren’t working, check the Moda Block Heads 2 Archive. Because if you’re reading this, it’s been updated and it might just have what you’re looking for.
These blocks – and those shown at the top – are from #modablockheads2. For more blocks and inspiration – #modablockheads. Some blocks are in both – some in just one hashtag or the other.

Happy Wednesday!
How fun!! Extra blocks! Thanks so much for doing this and inviting friends.
Block 15 does not go to the link
Hi Jill –
I’m sorry about that but Barb and Mary hadn’t posted yet when I updated everything before 6:00 am this morning. lol
Here’s the link to their blog and Block 15 – https://www.meandmysisterdesigns.com/blog/block-heads-2-blocks-14-and-15/
Now get busy sewing!
Up until today I have LOVED Block Heads 2. This is my first time doing this and today I am crying and very discouraged. I am behind and decided to start with block 14 BECAUSE IT LOOKED EASY . Huge mistake I consider myself an intermediate quilter but the directions are quite lacking on many of these blocks. Is there not a way to make things a little easier for us without color printers? It would be great if the designer made a block with 5 fabric selections to make the cutting instructions for 5 fabrics and show the layout for 5 fabrics! I have been trying to go back and forth between the website and pattern on my smart phone and it’s been a disastrous day.
