Hello, friends! We’re getting ready to wrap up the 2025 Block of the Month sew along with the final block and the finishing instructions available next Monday, December 1st. Today, though, I’m sharing details about my A Quilting Life 2026 Block of the Month sew along. I will be sharing a brand-new Block of the Month quilt along beginning on Monday, January 5th. Today’s post will share everything you need to know to be ready for the January quilt-along.
A Quilting Life 2026 Block of the Month
Quilt + Block Details
As in year’s past, this year’s quilt along will be a free mystery block of the month program. This means that I will not be sharing pictures of the blocks or the finished quilt at the beginning. Here are some of the basics for the 2026 sew along with a few details on fabrics I’ll be using:
- This year’s blocks will feature 12″ finished blocks only. The finished quilt will measure approximately 57 ½″ x 72 ½″.
- The blocks are mostly in the “confident beginner” range. I’ll share video tips and tutorials for anything that might be a little more challenging. All of the blocks are machine-pieced (no applique’).
- There will be a setting for the quilt provided in early December 2026. I will also have some fun bonus projects to share with you along the way.
- This year block patterns and videos will be available on the first Monday of each month here on the blog. I will also post a video that day on our YouTube channel where I’ll go into more detail about the month’s block and share tips and any needed details.
- I will be making my quilt using a variety of red and navy prints from our earlier collections, including Raspberry Summer, Delightfully Yours, and earlier groups. (I’m really looking forward to using this color combination as we will be celebrating the250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026).
- I will have also some scrappy starter fabric bundles available in the shop in early December. (I’ll let my newsletter subscribers know when these are available–sign up below if you don’t already receive my Sunday updates in your email inbox).
- I’m also sewing along with the tone on tone print from Delightfully Yours as my background fabric. Moda Bella 9900-200 is also a great background option if you are mixing red and navy prints from a variety of our fabric collections.
- The best way to stay informed about all things Block of the Month is to sign up for my newsletter. This newsletter goes out just once each weekend and provides details on the previous week’s posts and videos along with a preview of the upcoming week and any special sales or discounts I have at that time.

Reminders for 2025
Finally, just a reminder for those of you who have sewn along in 2025. Be sure to download all of the PDF’s you need before the end of the year. At that time, I’ll remove the files in order to make room in my digital file storage for the new year’s blocks.
- Go here for the Block of the Month landing page with links to all of the monthly posts. You can download each month’s PDF pattern file from the corresponding post.

Happy quilting, and I can’t wait to see you on January 5, 2026, when we begin sewing the A Quilting Life 2026 Block of the Month.
Happy quilting!
