Pattern of Moda Blockheads 5 Block 4
The Moda Blockheads 5 quilt along offers 2 different block sizes: 12 inch and 6 inch. Moda fabrics has split Blockheads 5 into two parts. Part 1 will be a shorter quilt along to allow for a project to be finished before the holidays. After the first of the year, the quilt along will resume with more blocks for a second project that will be larger quilt setting with the remaining blocks.
Moda Blockheads 5 Block 4 Assembly
The Super Scrappy Star block is an easy basic patchwork block. I changed piecing method to make block assembly easier for the way that I quilt. Instead of making my flying geese with the 4 at a time method that is outlined in the pattern, I opted to use 2.5″ x 4.5″ rectangles and use the sew and flip method to get the corners onto my flying geese. This method is faster for me, but the pattern outlines the 4-at-a-time flying geese as a great option.
You can see how I laid out the individual pieces before assembling it all together into the block to make sure I liked the look of my scrappy block. I kept the same navy blue floral fabric as part of the inside sawtooth star to blend this block with the others I have made so far.

My finished block came out with really nice points. Pressing well between each step helped immensely. I like the way the navy blue floral sets off the sawtooth star in the center.
Blockheads 5 Progress
The 12 inch quilt blocks look really good together. I am looking forward to the next few weeks and figuring out a setting option. Although, I may decide to hold onto the blocks until part 2 and make them into one larger project. Time will tell!
Until next week, happy quilting!
