Today I’m sharing my quilt block for the Moda Blockheads 5 Group 2 Block 11, the Shooting Star Block! This quilt block was designed by Stacy Iest Hsu a designer for Moda. I love Stacy’s cute fabric prints for kids quilts!

Blockheads 5 Group 2 Block 11
For block 11, I opted to do an alternative layout that I noticed on the Moda blog post. Instead of having the “streamers” with two stars, I instead made 4 stars total for the one block. I really loved the effect that the stars made and wanted more of them!
The quilt block patterns for the Moda Blockheads 5 quilt along are completely free and Moda offers the patterns in 2 different block sizes: 12 inch and 6 inch. For this quilt along I am using Songbook fabrics by Fancy That Design House and am making the 12 inch quilt blocks.

Since I left out the stripes on my blocks, I had to double up on the pieces to cut for the star portions. This took a little double checking, but the block went together basically the same with the four stars instead of 2 stripes and 2 stars.

I love the look of these star blocks. I think this would make a great layout for a completely scrappy quilt. Just a whole bunch of 6 inch stars blocks.
Moda Blockheads 5 Progress Recap
I am so happy with how my blocks look in the Songbook collection by Fancy That Design House. I have kept all of my group 1 blocks to combine with my group 2 for a larger project.
If you haven’t had a chance to sew the free quilt blocks from the Moda Blockheads 5 quilt along, jump right in with the second group of blocks! New blocks are released on the Moda blog on Wednesdays.
Happy quilting friends!
