Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing Moda Blockheads 5 Group 2 Block 3 which is another delightful star block in this ongoing series and quilt along. I loved choosing fabrics for this week’s blocks from our Strawberry Lemonade collection and love how both of my blocks turned out. Keep reading for all of the details, the PDF pattern link, and my tips for this week’s blocks.
Moda Blockheads 5 Group 2 Block 3
Group 2 Block 3 Details
April Rosenthal of Prairie Grass Patterns shares this week’s Shimmer Star block, the third block in the group. I loved the variety of units in this block and had a lot of fun choosing fabrics for my 12″ and 6″ finished blocks. Here are a few notes from my sewing:
- I cut strips instead of squares for the corner four-patch units. Cut strips 2 ½″ x 21″ for the 12″ finished blocks and 1 ½″ x 14″ for the 6″ finished blocks.
- I made the four triangle-pieced units and the center unit according to the pattern instructions.

I am printing out the patterns for the MBH5 because during the Snow Megeddon in Arkansas I am trying to finish up UFO’s. Your 2023 BOM is on my list for today. I have December to piece and then put it together. So far I have finished the top my Christmas Eve Kit from FQS and Lella Boutique and I have got the top done for a 2019 BOM from our local quilt shop Pinwheel Fabrics.

Such pretty fabrics you are using. I am looking forward to seeing the collection in a quilt shop. As always your blocks are beautiful and so precise,

Love this block and I like the color variety you show using Strawberry Lemonade. It is a cold 17 degree morning here so I am keeping warm by sipping hot tea and having my iron close by. Think today is a perfect day for staying inside and sewing.

I have to say your Strawberry Lemonade fabric line is my favorite (and that’s saying something), and the patterns you’ve released are wonderful. Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.

Thank you for providing the Blockhead 5 pdf’s for us to copy. I love all of your fabric ideas for the BH5 patterns. You are so super talented and I love your designs. I went to your shop and thank goodness I have self control because I would buy everyone of your patterns if I didn’t. Everyone of your patterns are beautiful! Without self control today, I would have spent my grocery money on the lovely ideas you have created. (As it was, I only purchased one today! But I will be back) Next issue is the time to make them! 🙂 Thank you! Have a wonderful day! Devonna Tabor
