As I mentioned last week, the Moda Blockheads QAL has started back up after a break for the holidays. This year, they split it into two projects – one before the holidays, and one after. Or you could just make all the blocks for one quilt. I opted for the former option, and you saw the results in my red top last week.
With that done and out of the way, I needed to pick some fabric for the next round. That’s always the hardest part of any project – deciding what to use!
In stead of pulling one big fat quarter bundle, I found a small one, and pull a bunch of stash yardage to go with it. I’ve been collecting bee-themed fabric for a while, so I had quite a bit to choose from. It surprised me how much went together so well, even though they are from different companies and lines.
With the fabric decided on, it was time to get working on the first block.
I think it’s just a fantastic start!
And I think the boys agree!
Now to wait for the next block!
