You’re officially in. This page is your home base for the January challenge. You’ll find everything you need — what to make, how to participate, and where to watch the live session.
We’re starting the year with the classics. Traditional quilt blocks are timeless, beginner-friendly, and endlessly versatile — perfect for building confidence and momentum.
Examples you can explore
Pick one — or pick your favorite traditional block.
Nine Patch
A true classic and the perfect place to start. The Nine Patch block helps you practice accurate cutting and piecing while creating a design that’s simple, balanced, and timeless.
Log Cabin
Built one strip at a time, the Log Cabin block is all about contrast and placement. It’s a great way to explore light and dark fabrics while enjoying a relaxing, repeatable construction process.
Ohio Star
A traditional block with just enough movement to keep things interesting. The Ohio Star is ideal for practicing precision and symmetry while adding a little visual pop to your quilt.
