February 2026 Mysteries and Sew Alongs

Check out https://quiltingwithtamara.com/blog/2026_block-of-the-month/ for a creative block of the month called Block of the Month with a Twist.  If you scroll to the bottom of Tamara’s info page there are links to her Free Quilt Block Library which features 12” blocks and her Scrappy Quilt Patterns. The Scrapy Quilt Patterns piqued my interest. 

Jessica Dayon is sharing The 2026 Scrappy Sampler Block of the Week with two blocks released each week. The first 8 blocks have already been shared but are available. Or you can just save them and make them later.  The blocks will be available through the whole event which lasts until March 26th. Get more information https://jessicadayon.blogspot.com/2025/12/announcing-2026-scrappy-sampler-block.html . One issue with this quilt along is  you must go to the You Tube video each week and check the written description for the link to written directions. This takes you to Google Docs where you can save the document. Mine saved to my download file.  A little more time but so far I’ve been impressed with the blocks. 

I Still Play With Blocks started 2/1. For more info and to join go to https://cottonandjoy.com/pages/block-of-the-month-2026?utm_campaign=2026-013DayBlitz&utm_content=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=flodesk

This is not a free event. $$

Here’s a different take on a quilt along. Check out Gnome Angel’s Bookish Quilt Club.  You’re going to be prompted to choose a book, a fabric, and a technique based on the monthly prompt.  It sounds like a fun way to get some reading in and try or use new techniques.  Check the information page: https://www.gnomeangel.com/gnomeangels-bookish-quilt-club-2026/ . 

Snuggles Quilts is offering a wool block of the month starting with the February block available on January15th and every 15th day of the month for the year. This year is Sheep Year. Sign up for Deanne’s newsletter and get more info: https://snugglesquilts.com/block-of-the-month/ . If you are interested in doing  wool applique this might be for you. There appears to be a lot of information on how to do wool applique at this site. 

Material Girlfriends is offering a 6 month block of the month called Bona Fide. Basic info is available now with directions starting February 15. https://materialgirlfriends.com/2026-sew-along-bona-fide/.  Check out their free Interwoven Hearts pattern — it’s a quick 30” sq Valentine’s Day table topper.  (Hint — Scroll through the rest of the free patterns.  There might be one that talks to you! )
