Moda Block Heads 3 Block 7

Hello and happy Wednesday! Today I’m sharing Moda Block Heads 3 Block 7. This week’s block is a fun heart block pattern called Zest and is presented to us by my good friend Lissa Alexander. Lissa is a treasured friend and mentor, and I’m happy to have known her for quite a few years. She is the author of two of my favorite quilt books, Oh, Scrap and Sisterhood of Scraps. She is also the fabulous Director of Marketing for Moda Fabrics and United Notions and continually provides support and inspiration for the Moda fabric designers.

I decided to go with a low-volume background this week to bring in a little more of the grey that I hope to incorporate throughout my quilt. I also chose a coral background floral for my heart.

Block 7 Fabrics

• My Background is the Summer Sweet Ivory Flora print.
• And the heart is pieced from the Summer Sweet Petal Garden Song print.

Block 7 Tips and Tricks

This week’s block is a fun and simple one. And it’s especially easy if you use the Mini Simple Folded Corners ruler to add the background squares to the heart rectangles.
