Welcome back to Rocking Chair Quilts blog 😊
Today we're sharing another one of the Big Blocks in the “I Can Totally Make That” pattern series.
Here are the details:
There are 15 ‘I Can Totally Make That’ patterns. All are free patterns courtesy of Moda Fabric and their designers .Free patterns! What’s not to love? #modalove.
All are BIG 18” blocks that could stand alone as a mini quilt , make multiples for a larger throw or bed quilt. Maybe…make all 15 blocks as a sampler quilt? So many ways to go- isn’t that what we love about quilts and quilting?
Please respect the designer’s individual guidelines and use these patterns only for your own personal enjoyment. Read more about this at MODA FABRICS
The designers will be sharing their blocks via social media and their blogs, along with their ideas for finishing in the coming weeks .

Designer Brigitte Heitland’s signature modern style shines in even the simplest triangle block. Plugging in modern prints and low volume blenders changes the look of traditional piecing in a most pleasing way. Pictured is her pillow done in half square triangles with prints from her Spotted and More Paper Modern Backgrounds fabric collections.

We saw it, loved it, made it. Here’s RCQ’s Breeze block. We used 2 Rosa mini charms, from Crystal Manning’s bright new collection and selected Grunge Pool for our border and background.
Zen Chic’s JUST RED fabric collection is coming to RCQ in January 2020. So cool! This should arrive just when I’m feeling the need to stitch up a valentine table topper. Brigitte may not have designed it to be a ‘Valentine’ collection, but the timing is perfect & won’t it be great?
