Stars and Stripes - Quilt Circle BOTM July 2026

Block of the Month - July 2026 - 2.7

2026 Block of the Month Exclusive Program for Quilt Circle members:

2026 BOTM quilt features twelve coordinated blocks, each inspired by a different month of the calendar year. Every block reflects the mood and character of its month—subtle winter motifs, fresh spring movement, vibrant summer energy, and the warm, cozy tones of autumn—creating a visual journey through the seasons.

All twelve blocks are the same size and are made using the orange lines on the Wonder Curve Ruler, ensuring consistency and ease of construction while allowing for creative variation through fabric and color choices. Together, the blocks create a unified quilt that celebrates the rhythm of the year, making it perfect as a sampler, a block-of-the-month project, or a meaningful keepsake quilt.
