Quilt Emporium and Moda Block Heads 4

. We're adding scraps of other fabrics to work with these Thatched choices.

A separate bundle of Thatched fabrics for Robin's Red/Green color study is also available on our website and we will occasionally sew a block in that color way too!  

You can watch our progress right here!

Moda Block Heads 4 begins Wednesday, March 23rd (See our blocks and links below!)

28 blocks by 28 Moda designers! A new block will be posted each Wednesday on Moda’s website (or Quilt Emporium’s website under ‘Projects’). Blocks can be sewn in sizes 9” and 4 1/2”. We’ve also posted approximate yardage requirements below. 

Will you be sewing a-long?

We’ll be sewing along with Block Head Robin Pickens!

Robin has designed a charming setting using the 9” + 4 1/2” block sizes and we’ll be sewing toward that end.

We’ll have fat quarter bundles for each of these fabric pulls available in the shop and on the website. Check our website and social media for updates on our progress. Watch Robin’s blog for more color study and setting ideas as she makes them available. https://www.robinpickens.com/


Moda’s Fabric Requirement Recommendations:

Because this is a sampler quilt and cutting isn’t the most efficient, these yardage numbers are estimates, what we recommend. Note that the estimates are generous. (Very.)  Sashings, borders, binding and backing are not included in this yardage estimate. (But that’s coming with the setting options.)

9” Blocks. For (36) blocks:

• Background - 2½ yards of a single background or 3 yards of multiple backgrounds.
• Assorted Mediums & Darks - 36 “sweet 16s” or Layer Cake squares.

4½” Blocks. For (36) blocks:

• Background - 1¼ yards of a single background or 1¾ yards of multiple backgrounds.
• Assorted Mediums & Darks - 18 “sweet 16s” or Layer Cake squares.

9” Blocks & 4½” Blocks - (72) blocks total:

• Background - 3¾ yards of a single background or 4 yards of multiple backgrounds.
• Assorted Mediums & Darks - 27 Fat Eighths or 54 “sweet 16s” or Layer Cake squares.
