Welcome to the 2026/2027 Design of the Month! From June 2026 to February 2027 we will release a new 9" raw edge applique block kit on the 2nd Friday of each month. This year's theme is Flora and Fauna of Route 66 so you can expect to see designs that reflect the nature and beauty of each of the 8 states Route 66 runs through. This will be a fun way to celebrate the Centennial anniversary of the historic highway. After we release all 8 blocks there will be a kit to sew them into a quilt.
The blocks are available as kits or PDF downloadable patterns and once the month is over that kit will no longer be available, so you will need to be sure to check back monthly to see the new design and to grab your kit while you can!
Our first block is Rustle the cardinal! Cardinals are the state bird of Illinois and violets are the state flower. As Route 66 begins in Chicago it felt like an appropriate starting point!
