| Crowning Glory Block by Corey Yoder |
The Crowning Glory quilt block by Betsy Chutchian, a stunning addition to the Moda Blockheads 4 series as Block 18. This block's design blends traditional elegance with Betsy’s signature touch, making it a joy to create for quilters of all skill levels.
The block is offered in two versatile sizes—4½" and 9"—allowing quilters to adapt it to their own creative projects. Betsy provides a detailed step-by-step tutorial on her blog, highlighting tips like precise trimming of hourglass units, thoughtful pressing of seams for crisp results, and accurate piecing techniques.
The "Crowning Glory" block shines beautifully when paired with fabrics from Betsy's collections. Featured in the pattern are selections from Mary Ann’s Gift and Kate’s Garden Gate, which evoke a vintage charm with florals, soft hues, and intricate designs. These fabric collections add richness and depth to the finished block, but quilters are encouraged to experiment with their own fabric choices to make the block uniquely their own.
For additional inspiration, Betsy also showcases her block with other fabric combinations, sharing her insights on color placement and contrast to help quilters achieve a balanced and visually appealing result.
