Moda Block Heads 2 Block 49

Hello and happy Wednesday. Today I’m sharing Moda Block Heads 2 block 49 which is the Cups and Saucers block by Jo Morton. Since this week is Jo’s block, that means I get to share my final block next week. It’s kind of bittersweet, actually. I’ve had so much fun with this series of blocks. And this week I was able to finish the hand-stitching on my quilt. I just can’t wait to share it with you…

The Cups and Saucers block has eight flying geese units, four half-square triangles, and one center square. I used some of the last bits of the trio dots on navy from our Desert Bloom collection that I had in my stash along with a floral on green from our Walkabout fabrics (shop here for Walkabout fabrics).

Tips for the Moda Block Heads 2 Block Construction

• I used the Bloc Loc Flying Geese ruler to make all of my flying geese just a bit larger, and then trimmed them to the perfect size. Find the ruler here (note: you will have to cut the rectangles and squares just a bit larger to use this method).
• I used this method of making my half-square triangles a bit larger and then trimmed them to the perfect size.
• I made sure I had a good amount of contrast between the three fabrics I used for my block: the dots on navy, the green floral, and the cream background.
