Whether you grab that pattern or wait for the weekly free block patterns, you'll have a blast growing your skills, connecting with a quilty community, and sharing inspiration. It's all about enjoying the journey, one stitch at a time. ### Fabric Requirements: What You'll Need Because this is a sampler quilt with different setting options and block sizes, actual fabric requirements vary depending on how scrappy you like your blocks, which setting you pick, and other variables. Moda recommends starting with 30-35 assorted print fat quarters and 4 yards of background fabric to make the blocks. With 40 fat quarters in the Bloomsberry Fat Quarter Bundle and 7-8 yards of Bloomsberry White Favorite Dot on hand, Kimberly is ready to start sewing. ### Share Your Creations We are sew excited to see what you make for Moda Blockheads 7!
