My Favorite Color is Moda 2 – Block 3: A Joyful Celebration in Stitch

We’re back with Block 3 in the My Favorite Color is Moda 2 series—and this one is extra special. Measuring a bold and beautiful 18" square, this block is where your quilt really starts to sing.

This month, we’re are continuing to feature the Joyful colorway—a vibrant, classic Christmas palette created entirely with Bella Solids, Moda’s signature 100% cotton solids made from cotton grown right here in the U.S.A. Think holly reds, pine greens, soft whites, and a hint of sparkle in the design—it’s everything we love about the holidays, stitched into one striking block.

Whether you’re sewing ahead for the season or just need a dose of festive cheer mid-year, the Joyful palette delivers cozy warmth and crisp contrast that feels timeless and fresh all at once.

What’s Inside Block 3:

• Size: 18" finished—this one's a standout!

• Skill Builder: This block is all about mastering precision piecing while working on larger-scale units. It’s a great opportunity to focus on accuracy and enjoy the bold impact of a big block payoff.

• Color Story: The Joyful colorway uses Bella Solids to evoke classic Christmas charm—perfect for seasonal decorating or as a subtle nod to your favorite time of year.

Why We Love Bella Solids:

Bella Solids are a staple for a reason—they're smooth, consistent, and saturated in the most gorgeous range of hues. And knowing that Bella is made from cotton grown in the United States makes us love it even more. Every stitch supports American farmers and ensures top-tier quality you can feel in your hands.

So pour yourself a cup of cocoa (even if it’s iced), and get stitching! Whether you’re sewing along in real-time or catching up, this quilt is all about celebrating your favorite colors, one block at a time.

Grab your pattern, Stock #Mod 138 at your favorite quilt shop and join us for the rest of this joyful journey!

Today, I wanted to share just one of the detailed sections of the pattern. Complete cutting information for each fabric labeled according what block. My tip on this is to cut them all out and organize them in ziplock bags labeleing which block it is used for. While this is a daunting task from the beginning it will make the assembly of each block a breeze.

Stay tuned, on the 10^th of each month as we highlight another block and share tips, color ideas, and behind-the-scenes peeks from quilters sewing along.  

Ask your favorite quilt shop if they are offering kits, classes or workshops and join us for a year-long celebration of color, creativity, and community. Trust us—you’re going to love your favorite color even more the second time around.
