Block #42 - Kind of - Well really 2 somewhat versions

I think that I have made it plain over
the years that piecing is not my first choice.


One of the reason I prefer appliqué is that with
pieced blocks you have to pay too much attention -
you can't just relax and sew.

The top block is the first one I made.
The bottom block is how Carrie designed it.

You can go to Moda's blog and download
the pattern by clicking here.

It's a really neat block and I think I put mine 
together automatically -but wrong- because my way
there is a pieced star in the block.  
We all know how much I love pieced and
appliquéd stars.  
If you want to make the block my way just sew 
the top, bottom and side sections between 
the corner squares in backwards - or upside down.

And speaking of stars -

This is Star Gazing.
It's our "Deal of the Week" - The kit 
is on sale for 20% off this week.


You can go to my store to buy the kit 
by clicking here.

Then you can go see what 
the other designers 
have done with Carrie's block -

Lynne of Kansas Troubles
Barb & Mary of Me and My Sister
Brigitte Heitland of Zen Chic
Vanessa of Lella Boutique
Betsy Chutchian

Laurie Simpson of Minick & Simpson
Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life
Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings
Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts
Carrie Nelson of Moda's Cutting Table

Jo Morton of Jo's Quilts probably won't be posting
in Blockheads much except when it's her block
 but you might just want
to drop in and see what she's doing.

particularly awesome.

this going to be really short.


The DEAL of the WEEK is the Moda Love Kit (20%off).
I can't get pictures to upload on the "Gadgets" on my 
sidebars for some reason.  It says my url is incorrect?????
If anyone know how to correct this or how to get
in touch with Blogger, please email me
at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com.

I really love (no pun intended)
this little quilt with it's little house,
stick trees, birds on a branch and 
of course stars - 
Lots of my favorite symbols.
You can click here to purchase the kit.

I'm much better at designing quilts than I am 
at dealing with computers and Blogger. :)

Joan, if you will call Tammy at 816-632-7632 or email her at
janpatekquiltsinc@gmail.com and give her your
snail mail address, we'll send you your book.  
Congratulations.
