Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday. Today I’m sharing Moda Blockheads 4 Block 13 which is the Evening Delight block by Debbie Maddy of Tiori Designs. I had fun making this block in both sizes the other day and have a couple of tips for you to help make sure your blocks go together easily and accurately.
Moda Blockheads 4 Block 13
Block 13 Tips and Tricks
This week’s block features four quarter-square triangle units. I love giving myself plenty of extra fabric to trim these units down to the perfect size. So be sure and note my suggested sizes in the tips below. I am really loving using our Emma fabrics for the blocks–it’s been really fun using a variety of combinations. And my red, white, and blue small blocks are lots of fun as well. Tips below:
- First, go here to download this week’s pattern, or click the button below. (Block pattern may not be available until 8 a.m. CST).
- Be sure that you are sewing with an accurate ¼″ seam allowance.
- Next, enlarge the C, D, and E squares by ¼″ to give yourself room to trim. Cut them at 4 ½″ x 4 ½″ for the 9″ finished blocks and at 3″ x 3″ for the 4.5″ finished blocks.
- You can also view this post with a video for an example of how I trim my quarter-square triangle units.
- Finally, you might want to consider starch or a fabric spray if you are making the smaller blocks.

I’m getting an error message when I try to access the quarter square triangle video after going through a lot of pages to get to it. Can you make a link that goes directly to it? Thanks so much!
