Outtakes Quilt Block


The Outtakes Quilt Block by Vanessa Christenson of V & Co., featured as Block 24 in the Moda Blockheads 4 series. This striking block blends modern design with traditional elements, making it a versatile and visually captivating choice for quilters of all skill levels.

Vanessa using her signature Ombre Galaxy Metallic fabric collection for Moda Fabrics, the block highlights the shimmering beauty and gradient transitions that the collection is known for. The ombré effect adds depth and dimension to the design, creating a unique, luminous look that elevates the block to a new level of sophistication.

The Outtakes Quilt Block is crafted using foundation paper piecing (FPP), which ensures precision and crisp lines for its intricate geometric shapes. Vanessa’s free pattern download includes easy-to-follow FPP templates, and her detailed tutorial walks quilters through each step of the process, offering tips to ensure success—even for those new to FPP.

The finished block measures 9 inches, making it perfect for a variety of projects, from a standout addition to a sampler quilt to a focal piece in a modern wall hanging. Vanessa’s playful and modern design style shines through in this block, offering endless opportunities for customization with different fabric combinations.
