Closed September 2 for Labor Day
BH3 Block 56 - Star Dance
BH3 Block 56 - Star Dance
I'm so glad we had this time together
Just to have a laugh, or stitch a block or two.
Seems we just got started
and before you know it
Comes the time we have
to say, 'So long.'
And just like that, fifty-six blocks are in the books, and Block Heads 3 is a wrap.
(Words to I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together by Joe Hamilton.)
While it isn't Valentine's Day just yet, Joanna Figueroa's quilt will definitely get us in the mood for it. Her Red and White confection is almost finished, and we have a few pictures of it to share in a moment.
First. Star Dance! It's Block 56.
Star Dance can be made in all four sizes - 4", 6", 8" and 12". The instructions can be found on Joanna's blog - Fresh Figs.
This is Joanna's version of Wine Not, Jen Kingwell's block from last week, No. 55.
Night and Day - Block 50 - though calling this Red and Cream confection "night and day" seems a stretch.
Joanna's Block 48 is Lisa Bongean's Purpose.
Isn't this beautiful? As in, we might need to make one just like it!
And finished... except for quilting and binding.
As the Block Heads share pictures of their finished quilts, we'll be sure to share them here.
Just in case you missed it, the Star Dance instructions can be found on Joanna's blog - Fresh Figs.
The links to all 56 blog posts and blocks can be found here - Block Heads 3 Archive. (It is updated every Wednesday and Friday - blog link on Wednesday, pattern link on Friday.)
If you missed Block Heads 2, all the blocks can be found here - Block Heads 2 Archive.
Have you been inspired by the designers' blocks? They're beautiful and the variety of color palettes, scrappy mixes, and block variations has been a treat to see.
