Moda Building Blocks
Like many people, I fell in love with the Moda Building Blocks quilt when it debuted at quilt market in 2014. I bought the kit, oohed over it when it arrived, and then stuck it on a shelf in my closet to make "someday". I even had the backing fabric. Then it sat and sat and sat. Until a friend posted on Instagram that she was joining a quilt-along to make it. I'm a sucker for a good quilt-along and I already had both the pattern and the fabric so I jumped in. I'm so glad for the kick in the butt because it's done and I love it! I loved making this quilt so much that I actually finished it ahead of schedule. It's huge so I had it long-armed and I still finished it before the end of the quilt-along. If you look closely, there are a few changes from the original pattern, including the lost block from my Animal City Sampler . And no, this is not what winter in Minnesota looks like. I wasn't happy with my original picture, so I retook this at
