Blockheads 5 progress

Just found last weeks post in my drafts folder, so I’ve updated it a bit.

I’ve wanted to do Moda Blockheads for a few years now and this year I’ve been able to join in and am only a little behind. A blue and yellow quilt has been on my wish list for years!-They are such cheerful, summery colours so I decided to use a beautiful fat quarter bundle – Moda Harmony – as well as some blue and yellow from my stash.

The theme this year is stars, with 6″ and 12″ blocks. I’m not sure if I’ll make all the blocks in both sizes yet, but the little blocks sure are cute!

I fussy cut the bees for some blocks.

I like the phrases on this fabric and I added some dark blue to the corners of the centre square.

I’ve been working on trimming and joining the Blue Ridge Beauty blocks, still a lot to go but it’s coming together nicely. Can’t wait to get it all up on the design wall – not sure if its going to fit though.

We’ve been away a couple of times in the last two weeks and busy with tradespeople quoting for jobs around the house so its been very busy here.  Next on our list of jobs is to finish the insulation in ceiling, get wallunit/bookcases built in and have the veranda added to the front of the house. I think renovating is going to take MUCH longer than we planned but its keeping us busy so that is good.

It’s only three weeks until we go on our cruise to New Zealand – our first cruise since before Covid. We did the same cruise in late 2019 and really enjoyed it. It will be nice to visit again.
