Sew a Free Mini Charm Mug Rug and Blockheads 2020 – Block 7

A mini charm pack of Zen Chic’s Just Red fabric collection and a free how-to are all you need to sew this charming mug rug.

Tea Time with Just Red

Ready to explore another fun, free project with the JUST RED collection? I have really been enjoying creating different projects with this dynamic and diverse fabric series, and I’m excited to share this one with you.

It seems that no matter what mood I’m in – playful, fiery, passionate, energized, smoldering – there are hues, patterns and their combinations in the JUST RED collection that perfectly express how I’m feeling. There are so many possibilities with this collection, it’s really quite amazing!

You can sew this cute, cozy tea-time mug rug with just a mini charm pack of JUST RED and a couple of low volume scraps… Or with whatever your scrap bag has to offer! Download the instructions to make your own by clicking the button below.

And now on to this week’s Block for our year-long sew-along… Ready?


FREE QUILT ALONG BLOCKHEADS 2020
BLOCK #7
ZEST

Whether you’ve been sewing along with us, or are just learning about the free block pattern we share each week in our year-long sew-along, it’s always so fun to see what’s new!

We had such a great time with BlockHeads 2, and our Facebook community of 30,000+ quilters has been a wonderful place to see everyone’s blocks and sampler quilts coming together. And, of course, don’t forget Instagram! Use the hashtags #modablockheads and #modablockheads3 to share your blocks with us there.

If you’re following along be sure to check out this post to find out what fabrics you’ll need to create your own beautiful and unique sampler quilt using free block patterns from Moda designers each week.

This week’s block, Zest, is brought to us by Lissa Alexander. Lissa is the marketing director of Moda, and she’s created this sweet and simple heart block to share with us. It’s great to have a very simple block in a sampler quilt like the one we’re creating – it keeps the design from being too complicated and cluttered and gives an overall cohesive look to the quilt.
