So… remember I said my Blockhead quilt had three more blocks to go? Well it turns out I was wrong. Block number 9 was the last block until the new year.

They split it up this year, leaving a break over the holidays, and stating that the first set of blocks could be used to create something in time for Christmas. Now that should have clued me in. Three more blocks would put us in to the first week of December, and a lot of people wouldn’t have time to finish their project in just a couple weeks.

I could wait until AFTER the holidays for the new blocks… or I could make something with just the nine I had. But I didn’t want to do either of those things. So… Burton and I hopped on the internet and found three more blocks we could work into our vision.

The first two are nice and fancy.

The last one we kept a little more simple. (Don’t ask me where Lemmy went in the last pic. I guess he just got bored and left.)

Now with 12 blocks, we laid them all out to get an idea of the whole.

And it looks pretty darn good!

As you can see, even with 12 blocks, it’s not going to be a huge quilt. I’m going to add some sashing and cornerstones, and then a border or two to build it out. It should end up a perfect lap size. But that’s for another day!
