Hello and Happy Wednesday! I’m just stopping by to let you know that yes, there will be a Moda Block Heads 3! If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about, let me fill you in.
Moda Block Heads 3
In 2018 a group of six Moda Designers shared free weekly 6″ block patterns that have now been published in this book. Then, in 2019 more Moda designers were added to the mix, and the program continued. I absolutely loved playing along last year. My Moda Block Heads 2 quilt is one of my favorites.
Block Heads pattern release dates are typically Wednesdays, and our scheduled start date is January 15th, 2020. I just wanted to let you know now so you can start thinking about fabric choices.
Who are the 2020 Moda Block Heads?
While sadly not all of the original Moda Block Heads are able to participate this time around, we do have some new designers in the mix. I think you’ll love this creative and energetic group. I can hardly wait to see their designs. Here is our complete group of designers:
- Betsy Chutchian
- Jan Patek
- Lisa Bongean
- Brigitte Heitland
- Laurie Simpson
- Vanessa Goertzen
- Stacy Iest Hsu
- Corey Yoder
- Sherri McConnell (me)
- Robin Pickens
- Janet Clare
- Jen Kingwell
- Joanna Figueroa
- Lissa Alexander
How to Participate
For now, just start thinking about fabric choices that you might want to use. Many of the Moda designers will be offering “starter kits” of fat eighths or fat quarters of a variety of their fabrics if you’d like to make a scrappy quilt. I will be offering a scrappy print pack here and a scrappy low-volume pack for backgrounds here. (Note: photos are not of the actual bundles, and while supplies last, get a Summer Sweet mini charm with your order)!
Plan to Join in on the Fun!
Whether you’ve sewed along already or not I hope you’ll consider joining us in 2020. It’s going to be so much fun! Are you already thinking of fabric possibilities for your quilt?
Ruth Plowman says
I had fun with the last sew along. Can you share the size of the blocks…will they be varied? Also, how long will it last? Thanks
Ann says
I also wondered what the quantities/yardages of fabric will be. Thanks!
Sue Gaffney says
Do you know the fabric requirements yet? Thanks
sherri McConnell says
This will be coming in January!
Marilyn says

Kipi says
Yay! I missed the first two, so I’m excited to join in on this one.
Tanya Quilts in CO says
I haven’t done Moda Blockheads, but I absolutely fell in love with your second version and definitely want to make one! Thank you so much for the information.
Joanne says
I too would be new at this…so, just how do i join? nowhere does this give a web address for joining…
sherri McConnell says
You don’t need to join. You can sign up for my newsletter which will give you an email each time I post…or just stop by each Wednesday beginning January 15th for the block details.
Helga Whittaker says
I am not sure where to sign up. I missed the first two, but found the first one in book form. Will the second one be published? Thanks.
Wendy Clark says
I am so looking forward to this. I learned so much from MBH2 from the designers and fellow Blockheads. Thank you thank you thank you to all the designers.
Letitia Brewster says
I would like to do this.
Sue says
Great designers!! Can’t wait! Now to think about fabric choices…
Hildy says
This sounds like a lot of fun of course I’m in!
Tammy says
I have loved participating in the “Moda Blockheads,”
I have enjoyed the community of friends and learning new skills.
I love the friendship of quilters and the support we can be to one another.
However…I like to see that really fostered and not see any of the rude and hurtful things I saw last year.
Let’s remember, If you don’t have anything nice to say…don’t say nothin at all!”
Happy quilting friends!!!

WHOOHOO! have been collecting my fabrics for months. Wednesdays will be exciting once again.. I hope it is a sampler or medallion. I learned so much from BH1 and 2. thank you all.
Alycia says
Thank you! I am beyond excited for round 3! I did both 1 and 2 and loved every minute. I need to think about my fabric choices now. I am sure I have some stash FQ bundles I can use and them buy fabric for background.
Faye Murray says
How do I join?
Jenny kapela says
Ditto
Ana Sweet says
I am so happy about this news. I made two of the last Blockhead quilt. A halloween and an Asian out of my totes. This one might be cowboy.
Chris McNally says
I would love to join. Could you please tell me how I join and the cost. Kind regards Chris
Kathy says
Will the blocks be new or do we need to purchase the book?
sherri McConnell says
Blocks will be new and free online beginning in January!
Ingrid says
This will be fabulous…I’ve never done a Moda Block Head quilt so I’ve already diarised this! Now to fabric…any idea on quantity required? Thankyou for the heads up!
Maree says
How do I know if I subscribe d. And can I go back and ll oil at and maybe make 2 & 3 ?
Gerry says
I would love to participate thsnks for the update..
Sharon Quinn says
This sounds like fun. But I am confused about how to join in on the fun.
Pam says
It’s hard to think about fabric if we don’t know how much we need. I hope the designers keep up with their blocks this year. Last year I followed a specific designer who’s fabric choice I liked and she never kept up…dissapointing
Meryl Gowing says
Moda Block Heads 3 sounds amazing – could I please be included. Meryl
Glenna C Denman says
Thanks for giving us this heads-up, I put it on my calendar and am looking forward to it!
Leona WILLIAMS says
I have not done anything like this before and would definately like to sign up so do we do that now???
I have no idea at fabric so may see what you will be offering
Hilda says
I would like to join how do I do that?
Christine Mulvihill says
Hi Sherri. Enjoy reading your blog. Thought I would try participating in block head 3. Went to order your scrap pack in Etsy and would not ship to Canada. Disappointing. But I did order your sweet day subscription box and it did accept my reservation fee and will ship to Canada. Wondering why the discrepancy and why you don’t ship to Canada.
Sallie Smith says
Will you have more batches of your two fabric groups which are now sold out for the Blockheads 3 quilt?
sherri McConnell says
Yes, I will share those soon after the first of the year!
