Blockheads 5 Block 1

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the first official Blockheads 5 Block 1. (Last week’s block was a fun bonus block perfect for using as your signature block). This week’s block is shared by original Blockhead member Betsy Chutchian, and I love, love, love her block this week. Keep reading for all of my tips and ideas for this week’s block.

Block 1 Details and Tips

This week’s blocks from Moda designer Betsy Chutchian were so much fun to make. I did something just a little differently with the centers and actually love both looks. Whether you use a dark or a light print for the block center is up to you. Both looks are striking! Below you’ll find a few tips for accurately piecing this week’s block.

• You might want to consider using triangle paper for the hst’s in this week’s block. Use this paper for the large block and this paper for the small block.
• Lay out your fabric selections before beginning to sew to make sure you like the contrast between the different colors and prints.
