Hello, and happy Wednesday friends! Today I’m sharing Moda Block Heads 3 Block 35 which is a fun block designed by my friend Lissa Alexander. This block is another of those blocks I can really see myself making an entire quilt with. It’s a great stash-buster quilt and goes together quickly and easily. Plus, be sure to read to the end for information about registration for my upcoming on-line course with Martingale U!
Moda Block Heads 3 Block 35
I used fabrics from our Balboa collection (blue floral) and our upcoming Happy Days collection (large floral on citrine) for this week’s block. I love the classic and modern feel of this week’s block which is so appropriately titled “Coming Together.”

Block 35 Tips & Tricks
This week’s block really does go together quite easily. There are many different ways you can arrange prints…it would be really fun with the four corner units all made from four different fabrics, too. Here are just a couple of tips for block construction:
- Cut all squares and rectangles carefully.
- Use the Mini Simple Folded Corners ruler to make the four corner sections go together quickly and easily.
