Hello, friends! Today I’m stopping in to share some preliminary information and the Quilt Block of the Month 2022 Fabric Requirements. Be prepared for the first block pattern release in just a couple of weeks with today’s information and extra project details.
Quilt Block of the Month 2022 Fabric Requirements
2022 Mystery Block of the Month Quilt Details
First, I recently filmed the video for the January block, and I’m so excited to begin sharing this quilt next year. In the meantime, though, here are some details that will help you as you plan for fabric needs for this project.
- This year’s quilt is a sampler with 12 different unique pieced blocks. There is no applique’ or paper piecing required. Once again I will be sharing block patterns in two sizes: 12″ finished and 6″ finished.
- Patterns release monthly on the first Thursday of the month here on the blog. January’s block will be shared on Thursday, January 6, 2022.
- Each month, a step-by-step video tutorial sharing how to make that month’s block will be featured. Watch the video here on the blog or on the YouTube channel here.
- If you still need patterns from 2021, get them now from the blog as they won’t be available for free after 2021. And find links to all of the previous posts in the 2021 BOM here.
- The 2021 blocks are now available as a full file in my shop for purchase here.
2022 Fabric Requirements for 12″ Finished Blocks
Next, below you’ll find approximate fabric requirements for the blocks. These amounts are subject to change; however, I did add additional amounts into my calculations so that you’ll be sure to have plenty of fabric.
- 12 – 18 Fat Quarters (or more for a scrappier quilt)
- 2 yards of background fabric for blocks and inner border (solid or tone on tone)
- 1 yard contrast for blocks (I’m using ⅓ yard each of three different grey prints for this in my quilt).
- ½-yard sashing (I’m using a light floral for this)
- 1-yard outer border
- ⅝-yard binding
2022 Fabric Requirements for 6″ Finished Blocks
- 12-18 Fat Eighths
- 1 yard of background fabric for blocks and inner border (solid or tone on tone)
- ½-yard contrast for blocks
- ¼-yard sashing
- ½-yard outer border
- ⅓-yard binding
A Few More Things
Finally, I hope this information will be helpful as you plan for your 2022 Mystery Quilt Block of the Month. (I know a lot of quilters will be looking to take advantage of the after-Christmas sales that will be taking place soon). I can’t wait to begin sharing blocks and videos with you.
Happy quilting, and thanks so much for stopping by

Hi Sherri, I am looking forward to your 2022 mystery qal. This will be my first year joining you. I have been watching all of your videos so thank you for all the tips and tricks, they have been helpful. Now I need to decide which fq bundle to open.
Karen says
What fabriclinewill you be using for the 6 inch blocks and what background. Thx
Debbie Martin says
Sherri – Happy Holidays to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy.
You have provided many “OMG” moments this past year. I do enjoy your individual tutoring videos and the ability to replay when needed.
Have you given thought to using some bolder colors for your quilts? Love you and Chelsea.
Debbie

Good morning Sherri. I wish you and your family a very Merry, Healthy, and Safe Christmas and New Year. Thank you for the moments in my life when I needed to “escape” the real world and enter the quilters’ world. Your content, inspiration, and instructions are so well done which makes it a pleasure to “follow” you.
I do have a question…..is there a difference between the 2022 BOM and the 2022 Mystery BOM? Thank you Sherri; and i will look forward to your reply.
sherri McConnell says
No…they are the same.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
Dottie says
When will Seashore Drive be available on your site.?
sherri McConnell says
This is shipping in January/February. I may have some scrap bundles available before then, though 🙂
Katrina B says
So excited to start this sew along, it’ll be my first!! One question, how much backing will we need?
sherri McConnell says
You’ll need about 4 1/4 yards unless you make it larger by adding borders 🙂
Renee Schimel says
Hi Sherri! I am a new quilter and I’m wondering if year’s Mystery BOM is beginner friendly? If so, I am thinking of using the Seashore Drive fabric. Is it okay to wait to get the border, backing and sashing fabrics to see what I think will work once I’ve done a few months?
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Renee
sherri McConnell says
Absolutely. It will be very beginner friendly since I’m doing video tutorials each month. Also, definitely wait to get the other fabrics after a few months if you’d like.
Lana Stewart says
Sherri, will you have a Seashore Drive fabric kit available for purchase for this 2022 mystery quilt along? Merry Christmas!
Connie says
Ive ordered my fabrics in Love Note from Lella Boutique. Will these work Sherri? Not knowing what the pattern looks like and it being my first sew along with you I wasn’t sure what to buy! Will this be a good choice? Im excited to be sewing with you and the others! Looking forward to January! Happy New Year!!!?
Amanda D Sedivy says
I cant wait to start! I have Happy Days and Sincerely Yours. I am trying to decide which one to use. I am also patiently awaiting Seashore Drive.
Connie says
Hi Sherri. Love your blog and especially you teaching tutorials. Will you have seashore drive fabric bundles available for this particular BOM? If so, when can we get those?
Thank you and Happy New Year!
sherri McConnell says
I’m working on this now and will have more information next week! But the factory bundles aren’t scheduled to ship until late January/early February.
Kathryn Maguire says
Sherri I loved following on the 2021 BOM and I did it in 12″ blocks ( still need to put it together, I am going to do 2022 in the 6″ blocks cant wait!
Elaine says
Hi Sherri
Can I ask what size the finished quit will be please?
Thank you
Elaine
Joan Linthicum says
How do we sign up for the 2022 BOM? Did you get any more bundles for it?
Thanks
CHRISTY DETWEILER says
Hi Sherri I have ordered Sea shore Drive fabric line months ago and I want to do your block of the month 2022. When do you expect to start shipping this fabric line?
sherri McConnell says
We don’t have an exact shipping date yet…end of January or early February is what we’ve been told.
Joanne says
Sherri,
Thank you for hosting a mystery BOM another year. I enjoy your tutorials and look forward to participating in the 2022 quilt project.
Happy New Year!
Paula Brewer says
I’ve pre ordered the Seaside Drive….do you know when it will be available?
sherri McConnell says
It’s looking like late January/February 🙂
Tamela Scaggs says
Hello and Happy New Year!
Could you put the fabric requirements for the BOM in a downloadable file? That way I have it for reference rather than trying to find it on your blog.
Thanks,
Tamela
sherri McConnell says
I’ll have this next Thursday when the pattern releases…thank you!
Kathleen says
Just wondering what the finish size of the quilt will be. I would like to buy the backing fabric now so I have it when we finish in a year. Thanks,
sherri McConnell says
4 1/4 yards will be good…unless you add borders 🙂
