(Yes, there will be a 2023 block of the month–information below! I’ve so enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful versions of this quilt come together through the year. Also, I have a December Calendar PDF for you to download here today.

December Block Details and Tips
This month’s block features half-square triangles and flying geese units. You might even be able to use leftovers from previous month’s blocks! As long as you make sure your individual units are trimmed to size, your block should go together smoothly.
- Use a Bloc Loc Ruler for Flying Geese units
- Or use this Creative Grids Ultimate Flying Geese Tool

2022 Block of the Month Details
- 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.
- Each month, a step-by-step video tutorial features helps to make to make that month’s block. Watch the video here on the blog or on the YouTube channel here.
- The 2021 blocks are now available as a full file in my shop for purchase here.
- Get the 2022 Block of the Month Fabric Requirements here.
- Find all of the previous posts in the Quilt Block of the Month series here.
- And find answers to Block of the Month Frequently Asked Questions here.
- Finally, I’ve recently received a few questions about the finished size of this year’s quilt. I haven’t finalized my setting, but since the blocks are the same as last year’s, the finished sizes will be similar: 27″ x 34″ for the small quilt with 6″ blocks and 52″ x 67″ for the larger quilt with 12″ blocks. Of course, you can always make additional blocks and/or add additional borders to increase your quilt size. I’m also thinking about setting my small blocks into a table runner this year…details soon!

Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. I have really enjoyed making these blocks. Your directions are fabulous. I made it in a Christmas color way and a blue and red color way. Can’t wait to see next year’s blocks and I would like to sew it in your fabric.

This Block of the Month quilt has been so much fun!! Thank you so very much for putting it all together with the blog, videos and patterns. A delight each month to get the email, easily print out the pattern and the great Calendar which has spurred me on to meet several goals and learn about new tools and techniques. Seeing all the blocks posted has been a lot of fun and inspiration! I’m almost caught up, was piecing November’s block last night and it’s almost done! I’m using some fun fabrics a friend sent me when I needed something for a baby quilt and her stash was running over, I got the most wonderful bag os old sample cards, so far 2 baby quilt and this BOM quilt! Wild little prints I would have never had myself stretched me to sort through this treasure bag and have so much fun cutting the little critters and other kiddy prints, so much fun either the fabrics it takes me much longer to select the fabrics than sew the blocks! And since I hate to have waste fabrics and quickly discovered the waste triangles would work for the 6.5 inch blocks, which actually are 4.5 inches I would have never tried, well, now I’m hooked on small blocks also!
Thank you, so very much, Sherri, for all your time putting this together for us!
