Moda Blockheads 2: Block 4

Block 4: Roman Cross

Picture
After a wonderful week at the coast with two of our kids I am back in the quilt studio (really just a small bedroom, but I like to call it that.)  I was glad to see another 12" inch block, but my hedgehogs will still need to be pretty small for this one.  I think it took me longer to choose my fabrics for this block than to actually sew it. 
I was not familiar with Brigitte Heitland and enjoyed exploring her blog a bit.  Modern quilts are growing on me.  You can find her pattern for block 4 on her blog linked here.  Brigittte also included paper piecing patterns for this block, which I was tempted to use, but just printed them instead to save for later.

Since I am using directional fabrics for this block I decided the best thing to do was lay out all of my pieces to make sure things were turned the direction I wanted them to be.

I decided to start with the easy nine-patch used for the center of the block.
I joined the squares into rows, pressing towards the dark squares in each row.

We Can Build a Snowman BOM: Block 2

In the meadow We Can Build a Snowman...

I had a lot of fun making this month's block. 
​Click on the photo to get your copy of the pattern.  Remember the pattern is free during the month it is released and after that can be purchased in my store.
I am working on a second version using Edyta Sitar's Cold Spell line of fabrics.  This is an older line that I have had sitting on my shelf for a couple of years.  
Picture
A couple of little tips that might be helpful-sew slowly over those seams and use a stiletto to hold them down as you sew over them.
Picture
When sewing the rows together to make the block I have found that if I start sewing with the seams that face the needle first and pin the seams that are facing away form the needle things line up pretty well in the end.
Picture
I have included some Video Tutorials for Block Two as well. 
​I hope you have fun with this month's block!

Happy Quilting!
