Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Moda Blockheads 5 Round 2 Block 4. I actually made the larger block for this week before making any other blocks for this sew along. And then I recently finished the 6″ version to go with it. Keep reading for all of the block details for this week along with the link to the free PDF pattern file.

Block 4 Block Details
Barbara Groves of Me & My Sister Designs shares the Morning Star block with us this week. I love that there are so many different options for playing with fabric and color in this pattern. You’ll notice that I did completely different things with my blocks:
- I used just three prints for the larger block (including a low-volume background).
- I used four prints for the smaller block–using two different orange prints for the contrast and a contrast center star print with a tone-on-tone background fabric.
- I used my Bloc Loc Flying Geese ruler for the Flying geese units for both blocks. Use this size for the 12″ finished Block. And use this size for the 6″ finished block.
- Cut rectangles (D and F on the pattern) 2 ¾″ x 4 ¾″ for the 12″ block with squares (E and G on the pattern) 2 ¾″ x 2 ¾″. Sew and trim with the ruler as directed.
- Cut rectangles (D and F on the pattern) 1 ¾″ x 2 ¾″ for the 6″ block with squares (E and G on the pattern) 1 ¾″ x 1 ¾″. Sew and trim with the ruler as directed.
