Summer Block Party Quilt Along 2025

 

We're back for another year of the Summer Block Party quilt along! 

We had so much fun last year so we decided to throw another block party! This year there are nine designers collaborating on one fun and free quilt. Each designer has designed a unique summer-inspired quilt block to share. Want to quilt along with us? The fun begins Monday June 23, 2025. Sign up here, and find the details below!

WHAT: Join us as we sew along together creating a fun, summer quilt with blocks designed by nine of your favorite designers. This is a free mystery quilt along so you will get one block at a time, and then the final layout and finishing instructions at the end of the QAL. I can't share much more than that, but I CAN tell you that the quilt will finish at 69" x 69". 

WHEN: The Summer Block Party 2025 begins Monday June 23 and runs through July 14.

• A new block will be shared each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

• On July 14 you'll receive the finishing instructions to step you through how to turn those blocks into a 69" x 69" quilt.

• Sew at your own pace through the summer - no rush, no pressure.

HOW TO JOIN: Sign up here The Summer Block Party is free to join! You DO need to sign up since the free block patterns will be emailed out only to those that have signed up. 

• You only need to sign up with one of the designers to get the blocks. All designers will be sending out the same patterns on the same days. 

• By signing up you agree to receive emails from the designers following the completion of the quilt along. You can easily unsubscribe at any time. 

• If you participated last year you DO need to sign up again this year!
