Hello, friends, and happy Moda Blockheads 5 Group 2 Block 2 day! Today I’m sharing my two blocks made from this week’s pattern shared by Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings. This week’s block is a style I love…be sure to keep reading to see my quilt from 2023 using this block design.

Group 2 Block 2 Details
This week’s block is made up of lots of half-square triangles. And since so many of the half-square triangles are made using identical HST combinations, this is a good block to use triangle paper for construction–it saves so much time! Below you’ll also find a few of my hints for the block construction:
- I pressed the seams open in all of my half-square triangle units to make my block more flat especially where a lot of seams intersect.
- I also pressed the rows in each smaller block in alternating directions so that all of my seams would nest.
- My fabrics are from our Strawberry Lemonade collection which will be in stores any day!
- Use the aqua button below to download this week’s pattern after 8 a.m. CST (scroll down to just above the black and white image of this week’s block for the download link).

Right away when I saw this Moda Blockheads 5 #2, I remembered it as one of the blocks in your quilt in American Patchwork and Quilting!
