Make a quilt block every day for a year.
I’ll present a new quilt block, every day, for 365 days. Your challenge:  To complete the blocks every day, and build a stunning 90″ square sampler quilt!

The quilt will be repeated every year (with a few minor alterations for dates which have changed, for example, Easter).
Begin this year, or catch up from previous years

All the blocks will be rotary cut and machine pieced, using quick-piecing techniques.  Most blocks will be either 3″ or 6″, but we are making a few in larger sizes, too. The project is suitable for confident beginners, and becomes progressively more complicated. Tutorials for each technique are included!

SURPRISE!

Here’s the general layout of the quilt, from my design drawing in EQ7, so you know what you’re in for …

But … you will have to wait for your daily update to know which block to make!

Are You Ready?

Tips to Get Started

• Every day, you can find your blocks under the menu at the teachable site; you can see them only if you are logged in. They are in reverse chronological order. The blocks are only on the website for 3 months, so don’t delay too long if you want to download the PDF.
• The blocks are released at 3pm UTC. Here is a Time Zone Converter available so you can work out what time that is in your country.
• Although we start with the basics, and introduce each new technique with a tutorial, there is a tiny little bit of presumed knowledge that you should check over before you start.
• There is a Birthday Block for your special day!
• Overall there are slightly more than 365 patterns, so that there is a little flexibility with block selection; and, if I give a particularly difficult block, there is often a simpler substitute given at the same time.

A note about copyright:  Even though the pattern is free, it still belongs entirely to me.  You absolutely may NOT distribute or copy the patterns; this includes Pinterest or Instagram.

Selecting Fabric

• You can find inspiration in the gallery and the quilts exhibited in Italy 2017.
• There is lots of information about selecting your fabric, using various colours (since the pattern in in monotone), and selecting your yardage over at teachable.

Extras

• The Facebook Page is a great place to ask for help or clarification. It’s also fun to share the quilting journey.

So bookmark the website, and join the Facebook Page, and lets get started!

Still Free!

I’m so thrilled to be running the quilt again this year! It’s great to have you on board.
Enjoy!
