Boo!  

This is Two of Five, my block for Blockheads 4.  It's Number 5!  The story behind the name is in the instructions.

Block Instructions - Blockheads 4 Block 5 - Two of Five

BONUS Block No. 2 - Mix and Match

I like staying organized when I'm piecing blocks, so I cut everything and match up the pieces that will be sewn together.

I do this when I'm piecing one block at a time, or fifty.  Or in this case - four.

I wanted to make a quick project using this block and my Too Cute To Spook collection - it's arriving in stores soon.  So I made four blocks for a wall-hanging or table-topper.

I sewed the four blocks together, added borders cut at 4" wide, then it was quilted and bound.  It would also make a cute pillow.

For the border, cut (3) strips - 4" x 42" wof.  From the first strip, cut (2) strips - 4" x 18½".  From the remaining two strips, cut (2) strips - 4" x 25½".  This little quilt finishes at 25½" x 25½".  (A bit less if you trim the edges after it's quilted.)

This is what you'll need of additional fabric: 

• Border - 3/8 yard
• Backing - 3/4 yard
• Binding - 1/4 yard for straight of grain / 3/8 for bias binding

The machine-quilting was done by our long-time quilter and good friend, Sharon Elsberry.  

We really love this Too Cute To Spook collection, and Mary and I go back-and-forth on which prints are our favorites.  This Ditty Bag is in our It Take Two! book, six different small projects that can be made with just two fat quarters. 

I want to shout-out to three of my Moda friends!  Tammy V is a Blockheads Designer this time around, and she made Two of Five using using Sincerely Yours by Sherri & Chelsi.

Since there hasn't been a Quilt Market in two years, I only know Abby O through work and e-mails.  (But we're looking forward to meeting her in Houston in October - fingers crossed!)

Abby is using a beautiful mix of fabrics from several designers and collections.  It's mostly Ruby Star Society, but I think that's a Gingiber fabric in the small block.

After working with her on a few things for Moda, I did get to meet Michelle at this year's QuiltCon in Phoenix.

Michelle has a great eye for color, and she picks the best color palettes with Bella Solids.

One last Two of Five block to show you. 

I'm sewing along with Blockheads 4 and I'm using our coming-this-Fall collection, Picnic Pop! for the blocks.
