Hello and happy Wednesday! Happy Halloween if you are celebrating today…and welcome to Block Heads day here on the blog where I’m sharing Moda Block Heads 2 Block 29. This week’s block is brought to us by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company. Her block is a Courthouse Step block finishing at 6″ x 6″, and you can make it as scrappy as you’d like! Be sure to read to the end of today’s post because I’m having a little giveaway here on the blog!
This week’s block is front and center with all of the other 6″ finished blocks so far as a supporting cast. These “group photos” are always favorite ones for me to take each week. I once again used Walkabout fabric scraps for my block, using five different prints from my scrap bin.
I think I could definitely make a whole quilt of these fun little blocks. It sure would be a great stash-busting quilt. And you wouldn’t even have to use pairs of fabrics–the whole block could really be scrappy. There are so many possibilities.

I’ll be heading to quilt market later this week and will have some posts scheduled for while I’m away. But I’ll also have lots to share when I return. I think it would be fun to have a little post-market giveaway with some swag I’ll bring home from Quilt Market. Just leave a comment on this post letting me know what you’d like me to share from this year’s market. I’ll pick a winner next week when I return home. Happy Quilting, and thanks so much for stopping by!
