Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing the Quilting Life Block of the Month October 2022. We are getting near the finish line, friends, and I’m super excited about my finished quilt. I actually just finished up binding it the other day and can’t wait to share it with you. But for today, let’s get started with this month’s block.
Quilting Life Block of the Month 2022
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!
October 2022 Block of the Month: Tips & Tricks
This month’s block is one of our easiest. Simple squares and just a few half-square triangles make piecing a breeze. Just be sure to measure and cut carefully. Have fun with color placement in this month’s blocks–there are so many possibilities! To download the October pattern directly from this post click here.
October 2022 Block Video
Watch this month’s block video above or go here to watch on our YouTube channel. You’ll see both blocks up close and find additional details on sewing along with pressing information in the video.
Next Month’s Block + Seashore Drive Fabrics
I’ll be back on Thursday, November 3rd with our next block and block video. Since I’ve finished cutting all of the kits for this block of the month, I do have some extra Seashore Drive fabrics available in the shop. Find yardage here, and some fabric bundles here.
2023 Block of the Month
Finally, I want to let you all know that yes, there will be a 2023 block of the month coming your way! I’ll have more details for you next month including fabric requirements for those of you who want to start getting fabrics together.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy quilting!
Robin King says
Brava to you and the website team for the new BOM delivery system. It’s perfect!
Debra says
I see the new delivery system is working for some. It isn’t for me though. Any suggestions on how I can get October 2022 BOM? Love your patterns!
Thank you!
sherri McConnell says
email me directly if you don’t get it and I’ll send it to you. This new system will make it so much easier in the long run so I can send patterns directly to you 🙂
Chris says
Still not getting October BOM please forward to rking74@nycap.rr.com Thanks
sherri McConnell says
email me at info@aquiltinglife.com please 🙂
Peggy Sego says
Did you check your “junk” file?
Phoebe says
I can not get the October 2022 Block of the Month to download.
sherri McConnell says
please email, and I’ll send it to you!

Joy Dickson says
I’m just confused why I had to resubscribe to get the BOM. It just wouldn’t let me get the download unless I resubscribed. Am I going to get 2 posts for every email now? Thanks for the pattern
sherri McConnell says
You won’t get doubles–the system will know you’re already in. This will just tag you as someone who is interested in the BOM so I can send that to you directly in the future.
D Drake says
Along with others. I’m not crazy about your new system. I do not want or need any more junk or spam e-mails. Someone recently sold ALL my emails associated with my name and now I’m getting 10-15 junk emails delivered to my in box every day, and for what? Profit. I am sorry to rant but how are we to know our emails won’t be sold somewhere down the road??
sherri McConnell says
I would never sell any of my subscriber emails–you can be sure of that 🙂
The new system saves me hours and hours of work making it possible to keep doing this in the future. Thanks so much for your patience. It will really be easier for my readers as well after this short adjustment period.
Mary says
Website is very nice and the blocks are lovely. I prefer the old BOM delivery where I can download and print immediately without involving my email.
sherri McConnell says
email me directly if you don’t get it and I’ll send it to you. This new system will make it so much easier in the long run so I can send patterns directly to you 🙂
Donna says
I too am confused about not being able to pull up October pattern and print it like I’ve done last 9 months.
Donna says
I filled out info to receive PDF download but haven’t gotten.
sherri McConnell says
email me directly if you don’t get it and I’ll send it to you. This new system will make it so much easier in the long run so I can send patterns directly to you 🙂
Donna says
What is your direct email address?
sherri McConnell says
email me directly if you don’t get it and I’ll send it to you. This new system will make it so much easier in the long run so I can send patterns directly to you 🙂
S K says
disappointing we have to re subscribe for this fun project…so now every month we participate we have to do it all over again? seems unnecessary for those of us who already subscribe and enjoy your talents
sherri McConnell says
You won’t have to do this again.This new system will make it so much easier in the long run so I can send patterns directly to you 🙂
Debbie in Az says
I am also confused about why I have to subscribe again. I don’t want or need double emails from this website.
sherri McConnell says
You won’t get doubles–the computer will know you’re already in the system. This will make it so I can send patterns directly to you in the future 🙂
Chris Kng says
Tried signing up for regular emails and DID NOT get the October BOM. It says to click on button at the bottom of the page which, when I did that, I sent me back into the screen and loop to sign up for regular email notices. Looks like my 2022 will hav to be just a 9 patch!
sherri McConnell says
The regular email won’t do it…this puts you in a list marked Block of the Month so I can send patterns directly to you in the future.
If you need the pattern though, still, please email me and I’ll send it to you directly 🙂
eileen says
Is this where we e-mail you directly for a copy of Octobers Block? Too much hassle clicking on the e-mail, you have listed. I have to sign in with passwords etc. for my e-mail. I don’t know how this will be easier for you in future. I really enjoy your blocks and quilts. Please help me before I get so frustrated and delete all
sherri McConnell says
please email me at info@aquiltinglife.com
Thanks!
julie kaplan says
yay!!! your technological issues have been resolved. that must have put a wrinkle in your day, sherri. i am happy your site is all fixed….as i am certain you are also. hope the rest of your day goes smoothly.
sherri McConnell says
Thanks Julie!
Jenn says
Thanks Sherri for the block and to Billy for getting things back up and running for us today. I hate to be a pain in the butt, but is there any way to have the download link as well as the option to have the block emailed? The reason I ask is that I very RARELY go into my email….. for me, it’s merely exists because it “has to”…. I much prefer going to blogs and reading / getting files there than doing so through emails. I love these BOM’s so much, I’d hate to lose track of them.
Monica says
Success 😁
Download worked just fine. Thank you Sherri, Chelsi & Billy ❤
Rae says
Frustrating, I prefereed to old way, just click and saw the instructions without printing. Have not been able to see measurements or instructions.
sherri McConnell says
You will get the pdf delivered to your inbox. You still won’t need to print it and will be able to see all of the measurements from the PDF.
This will really help me be able to send Block of the Month information to those who are interested in it 🙂
Dianne Johnson says
Sherri, I have been enjoying your block of the month for 2022. I am unable to download the pattern for this month (October). Could you please send it to me. Thanks!
sherri McConnell says

Janis Mueller says
didn’t get October 6, 2022 BOM
sherri McConnell says
email me at info@aquiltinglife.com please 🙂
Rebecca says
Worked fine for me. Actually easier, used to go to that page, then had to download, then could save and/or print. Coming by email was ready to save immediately. Thanks!!
Luanne says
It worked perfectly for me. I think I’m going to like this method of getting the patterns; it saves a step.
Marguerite Hughes says
I’m having problems as well downloading the October pattern. Love the previous blocks, this is just a wrinkle I’m sure. What is your email so we can request the block directly from you as you wrote above?
sherri McConnell says
email me at info@aquiltinglife.com please 🙂
Ann Reeves says
I was not able to download the October Block of the Month.
sherri McConnell says
email me at info@aquiltinglife.com please 🙂
Mary says
I have had no luck in getting the October BOM. I too asked to have the pdf sent to my email address but still found no button to click, and no response to my email, only other weekend patterns. I enjoy watching your tutorials and the patterns you give but this easy way is not really working on my computer.
sherri McConnell says
email me at info@aquiltinglife.com please 🙂
Janice L Orton says
The pdf did not work. Still trying to get the October block of the month
Kristina Wilkinson says
Yay! Everything worked well for me. Love the bonus projects too! In a way it will be nice not to have to remember what day to look for the pattern if I get busy. Thanks for the emails and thanks for sharing such adorable patterns. Have a great weekend. K-
Diane Schultz says
I too have not been able the get the PDF for the October 2022 BOM. I am looking forward to receiving it and also the 2023 BOM. I really love your patters and enjoy your site so much! I did receive the bonus patterns and they are refreshing, a great way to use scraps. Thanks for all you do.
!
sherri McConnell says
Send me an email if you still don’t have the file! Thanks!
Karen Marks says
I am having a little trouble down loading the October block.
I have downloaded the first 9 with no problem.
I’d hate to stop now. I have tried numerous times but
still haven’t gotten the pattern.
It doesn’t look like I’m the only one.
sherri McConnell says
Send me an email and I’ll send you the PDF 🙂
Shirley says
no button to push in email
Carol Spingler says
Please help me find a way download from your website. I do not have a printer, so I go to the Library to print off the information. On my ipad, I am getting the block of the month, but I like a printed copy for my files.
sherri McConnell says
please email and I’ll send it to you directly 🙂
JO says
I also have not been receiving the blog post email. Do i need to re sign up?
sherri McConnell says
They have been sending. Perhaps they are going in your spam or junk folder as my mailing address changed.
Mary Ann says
I am also having trouble getting the download for Oct BOM..
No problem previously.
sherri McConnell says
send me an email, and I’ll send it to you directly 🙂
