Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the A Quilting Life Block of the Month May 2026 with my block photos, the free PDF pattern download, and the monthly BOM video. You can see and learn about extra details by watching the monthly video either here or on our YouTube channel. And if you are new here, I’ve got all of the details for this sew along below.

A Quilting Life Block of the Month May 2026
May Block Details
This month’s block is super simple! Last month we had a little extra work to do (though it wasn’t a hard block, either). And next month’s block has a bit of details to it as well. Enjoy the peaceful easy block pattern this month! For my spring version block I used Raspberry Summer (orange), Strawberry Lemonade (pink), and Midsummer (our upcoming group that we just shared) for the print floral.
And for my red, white and blue version block I used a red, navy, and low volume print from our Midsummer collection. (I’m using Delightfully Yours for block backgrounds).
