Moda Blockheads 5 - Starling Block - Week 12
Updated: Mar 20, 2024
Hi there! For those of you that don’t know me, welcome! I am Heather Briggs, the quilt pattern and fabric designer for My Sew Quilty Life. I’m so excited to announce that I am a new Blockheads designer for Blockheads 5 and I am the block designer this week. I designed the Starling block. This is the first year I have ever participated in Blockheads and I’m jumping for joy! I don't sew star blocks often, so this is a nice change of pace. I typically design floral and whimsical blocks, but I am loving the BH5 star theme. I think my points are getting much better each week. Keep reading to see how I turned the Starling block into a flower and download your free quilt pattern.
I was so honored when Moda asked if I would design a block for the Blockheads 5 program. The program is such a wonderful way to build your skills, meet the designers, and to be inspired. This is the 5th round of Blockheads and it has been going on for many many years. Some of you may have participated in the very first round of Blockheads–that was well before I got into quilting, but I have enjoyed looking at all the past quilts.
The Starling block is just darling! It has been a while since I have made a star block, but I’m loving this block. Starling is a combination of a flower and star, I just had to squeeze a flower in somewhere. I love flowers! I added in something extra on the corners, so when several blocks are sewn into a quilt, you would have a fun secondary design. The possibilities are endless.

My Starling Block:
I made my Starling block 6” using my Flower Girl fabric collection. I used my favorite pink, yellow, and low volume from the collection. I just love how it turned out. I am little behind on my blocks, but I hope to catch up now that I am all moved into my new home. I am making all my BH5 blocks in the same collection and finishing them in my Star Dance Free Quilt Setting. I have shared this in a previous blog post, but to download three FREE quilt settings for the BH5 blocks, click the button below.
Flower Girl Fabric:
Now shipping!!! Great news, if you want to make your Moda blockheads quilt in Flower Girl fabric, now you can. The fabric is starting to ship to shops soon (March 2024). Check with your local quilt shops soon to see if you can get some Flower Girl fabric.
Even though the block is supposed to be a star block, I couldn't help but to also make it look like a flower. The best of both worlds! What can I say? I just love flowers. If you reverse your fabric placement the block looks like a flower. See the above diagram for fabric placement.I love when you can change the color placement in a block to create a totally different block.
I have a surprise for you! I have turned the Starling block into an adorable flower quilt. All you need to create the Starling Petals quilt is to download the stem instructions and the Starling block instructions. The Stem instructions come in both 6” and 12” so you can make your quilt in different sizes. Your flower block will be either 6.5" x 12.5" or 12.5" x 24.5". You can also turn the blocks into a smaller project like a table runner, mini quilt, or pillow. The instructions only include the measurements for the quilt.
I made this Starling flower block in my new Dainty Meadow fabric collection which is now showing to shops and shipping in September 2024. I used a fun low volume for the inside of the flower.
In order to receive the free stem and finishing setting in the Starling Petals quilt pattern that I have designed, you will need to sign up for my email list. Once you have submitted the signup, you will be redirected to my website to download the settings PDF. Already on my email list? No worries, you will not receive my emails twice. I usually send emails two or three times a month. They are packed with goodies, sneak peeks, and coupons!

f8bet trang chủ khiến tôi quan tâm đến cách phần tài khoản được đặt trong sử dụng mà không tách người dùng khỏi nội dung chính. Mình thường xem trạng thái đăng nhập, lịch sử giao dịch và chức năng khôi phục trước khi mở sảnh. Sau đó mới quay lại Thể thao hoặc Game bài. Khi giao dịch chưa cập nhật, mình ưu tiên kiểm tra lịch sử thay vì thao tác lặp. Nguồn cũng khuyến nghị không chia sẻ mật khẩu hoặc mã xác thực. Với tôi, trang chủ hợp lý khi khu tài khoản dễ tìm, rõ và đường quay lại nội dung không quá dài hơn
hitclub inc là nền tảng tôi thường xem khuyến mãi theo trạng thái đủ điều kiện thay vì chỉ đọc bảng giá trị thưởng. Với ưu đãi tân thủ, mình kiểm tra mức nạp tối thiểu, sảnh áp dụng và yêu cầu liên hệ CSKH trước khi tham gia. Nếu tài khoản đã hoàn thành một phần điều kiện, tôi muốn tiến độ được thể hiện rõ để không phải tự nhớ. Tương tự, chương trình dành cho bắn cá và nổ hũ cũng nên cho biết tổng nạp hoặc yêu cầu cược còn thiếu bao nhiêu. Với tôi, khu ưu đãi dễ hiểu khi điều kiện được chuyển thành trạng thái cụ thể của tài khoản, giúp người dùng biết…
tải iwin thường được tôi thực hiện trên Android sau khi đối chiếu đường dẫn tải APK với thông tin được website cung cấp. Tôi chú ý tên file, nguồn tải và phiên bản trước khi cho phép cài đặt, thay vì mở ngay một tệp nhận được từ nguồn lạ. Sau khi cài xong, mình kiểm tra đăng nhập, tài khoản và menu trước rồi mới chuyển sang Tiến lên hoặc Phỏm. Nếu cấu trúc ứng dụng gần giống bản web, việc làm quen sẽ nhanh hơn. Với tôi, trải nghiệm Android tốt không chỉ nằm ở việc cài thành công mà còn ở khả năng nhận diện đúng nguồn, mở ứng dụng ổn định và tiếp tục sử dụng…
I really enjoyed reading about the Starling block and the inspiration behind combining a flower with a star. The secondary design idea is especially creative and makes the pattern even more exciting. As a Commission Artist, I always appreciate seeing unique designs that encourage creativity and inspire makers to add their own personal touch.
What a lovely Starling block! I love how you blended the star and floral elements—it really inspires creativity. Your attention to detail and color placement is amazing. Seeing projects like this makes me excited to explore my own artistic side. For anyone wanting to expand their creative skills beyond quilting, a Mandala art online course can be a wonderful way to experiment with patterns and colors in a meditative, artistic way.
