The Blockheads 6 program is chugging right along. This was week #6 already, and so far I've kept up with the weekly blocks.
Last week's Blockheads blocks were Dew Drops by Chelsi Stratton.
This week's block is Moonbeam by Robin Pickens. It's 18" finished, so twice as large as the previous 5 weeks' blocks.
So far, we've made 2 blocks each previous week, except for one. And now we've added one big block to the mix. Because I'm doing scrappy red/white/blue these blocks are all destined to end up in a Quilt of Valor.
Ironically about the same time yesterday morning that Moda posted the newest Blockheads block, Bonnie Hunter posted her new Leader/Ender Challenge block. She's calling this 4-Patch Fun, and it's very similar to the Bento Box block our QOV group has used in the past. So my brain immediately went to red/white/blue. While I was cutting the parts for the Moonbeam block I also cut some pieces for some of these. And I also used some other patriotic fabric scraps. They did make perfect Leader/Ender pieces while working on the Blockheads block. These will be very fun to make.

I love the way all your blocks work together. It will be a great quilt of valor!
When I have tried leader ender method I generally forget to use them after a while. But just a couple days ago I decided to try again with 2.5" scrappiness. Maybe this time I will get in the groove!
You have so many patriotic blocks going and they are all so pretty. I love your Blockheads: great piecing job. I need to get going on mine as I have only made the first one. But thanks also for posting the leader and ender block. Perfect to do a little at a time. My kind of speed.
Nice larger fireworks block! Perfect for Quilt of Valor!
Lots of fun blocks in red, white and blue. You've got the makings for two very fun QOVs.
