If I remembered how to calculate this correctly, we're 84% of the way done with Block Heads 2! If I goofed - always a possibility - then there are only eight more blocks after today.

Those are Vanessa's blocks, she's started laying them out and assembling her quilt top. She's moved a few of them around based on color but she hasn't changed the setting - the sizes are still the same.

So you already know it's Wednesday and we've got Block 44 to share - the block is Candy Striper and to make it official, it's from Vanessa Goertzen - aka Lella Boutique.

The fabrics in Moda Michele's block are from Betsy Chutchian's Evelyn's Homestead.

Block 44 - Candy Striper.

While Vanessa has been posting blocks and keeping up, she's also been busy making quilts and sharing her latest collection - Little Tree. It's a May 2019 release and it's a Christmas collection - a first for Vanessa.

"Little tree, little silent Christmas tree, you are so little, you are more like a flower." E.E. Cummings.

In addition to these beautiful prints, Vanessa designed a beautiful large-scale single-image panel that can be quilted to make a wall-hanging or throw - with or without borders.

The Little Tree Panel measures 56" wide x 74" long and is digitally printed.

There are also some beautiful quilts that I think we - I, me, yours truly - might need to make for Christmas.

This is Forest. It measures 80" x 90" and it's made with 2 charm packs and background.

Did you wonder if those were little appliquéd circle-dots? Me too. They're not, they're tiny snowballs. That seems rather fitting to me. Forest. It's a keeper.

This is Icebox - it measures 86" x 86" and it's made with 18 Fat Quarters and additional yardage.

Little Tree by Lella Boutique - aka Vanessa - will be in shops in May.

If you're on Facebook, be sure to check out Moda Fabrics and the Moda Blockheads Group as there are a couple of giveaways - a copy of this Block Heads book and a Lollipop Garden Fat Eighth bundle.

One more time, just in case... Block 45 - Candy Striper.

And the Final Quilt Assembly & Instructions.
