  • Reviewers say duplicate months still give them usable fabric for new projects
  • Many buyers say the kits help them build a fabric stash
  • Reviewers describe the kits as a practice ground for new blocks and techniques
  • Some customers say the fabric coordinates well across multiple kits in a series
"These block kits are all so fun! I love the variety and it's fun trying new techniques. I do mini quilts for inclusion with books for kids with cancer, and these are perfect! I have shied away from applique, but I have enjoyed learning how to do it with the quality precut applique parts and awesome fabric. Doing just one block is certainly less intimidating than a whole quilt, especially when learning."

Mystery Block of the Month Kit: A Fabric Surprise for Quilters and Sewists

Settle in with a good mystery. The Mystery Block of the Month Kit is a grab bag of fabric cuts from a previous Block of the Month program, and part of the fun is not knowing exactly what you will open. Reviewers describe the moment of unwrapping as the highlight, with many saying they love the surprise and the variety that comes with each kit.

Customers say the fabrics are gorgeous and that they are proud to add them to their fabric stash. Several buyers note that the colors and prints feel worth more than they expected, and some have ordered again because each kit tends to be different from the last.

What it is like to use

Reviewers describe the kit as a way to learn new techniques without committing to a full quilt. One reviewer who had shied away from applique said that working with the precut applique parts made it approachable, and that doing one block at a time felt less intimidating. Others say the blocks can be finished in a single sitting, which gives a quick sense of accomplishment.

Who it suits

Customers say the kit works well for newer quilters who want to practice different methods, and for experienced sewists who enjoy the challenge of combining very different blocks, fabrics, and colors. Buyers who like to spark their own ideas say the surprise pushes them to design something new.

What customers have made

Reviewers report using their fabric for mini quilts for charity, gifts, pillows, wall hangings, table runners, and even upcycled shirts. Some have saved their blocks to make a coordinated Mystery Block of the Month quilt, and others use duplicate months as background or scrappy fabric. Many buyers say that even duplicates get used, so there is rarely wasted fabric.

A note from reviewers

Customers who enjoy planning ahead say this suits them well, since the fabric itself is often the starting point for the project.

I have been adding mystery blocks to my collection of future products. All of them that I have received appear to be of excellent quality. I love creating new things and getting creative with patterns. I’m still working on the puzzle quilt and have decided to make it a king size quilt, so I am working on finishing the border strips and putting it together. I also have to bind the previous quilt. After that, I’m hoping to get into smaller projects, so we’ll see what I decide to do with them. I...

I love the surprise and seeing parts of quilt kits that I may have not selected on my own. So far, I have purchased one complete pattern (Laundry Basket Winter Village) and one complete quilt kit (Teapots Quilt Kit) based on receiving one block from the mystery quilt block. I can’t wait to get another mystery quilt BOM. It gives me practice in methods I want to use in putting the quilt kit together. I digitized the block using my Bernina software. Some stitches I liked and some not so much, so...

Inspiring

I enjoy receiving the mystery block of the month packets as I order them frequently. I love the challenge that they provide me because I use them as inspiration and focus blocks for wall hangings and table runners that I would not have created otherwise.

Middle of the road

Product themselves, fantastic. I've ordered several due to this and all have been a little different with great quality pieces. Last week I ordered again based on that experience but this time they were all the same block, no variation.

Great for a beginner!

So far I have ordered 3. And all are different. I love the fabrics and patterns. These are an inexpensive way to make blocks, then make more and make a wall hanging or just about anything!

Disappointed

I received three pieces of 9x21" fabric, or 3/8 yard total. They are overdyed muslin or linen in three shades of green. The fabrics are scratchy, streaked, and old. Worst of all, they have a foul smell. I would NOT recommend this product. Non refundable as well. So disappointing!

Love Love Love Them?

I have ordered and received 3 and have 3 more on the way. I have ordered them for the specific purpose of practicing my quilting by hand, in the hoop on my embroidery machine and free motion on both my Husqvarna Viking machines, the Opal and Topaz. Knowing this going into it there can be NO disappointment and everything is usable. So going into it I can honestly say I personally love them all. If I don't use some of the material then I cut and sew then into my scrappy square quilt. Once I have...

first time purchase and I got lucky

I received the Hearth and Home Month 7 BOM that I think is from 2018...a Toby Lischo block of the month. I can't even find any other information about this older BOM on the internet. I did receive 7 different fabrics with 4 of them being fat eighths, 2 fat quarters and some yardage to make the block and some other tidbits that were to be used in future BOM for this set. Total fabric was a little over 3 yards which wound up being $3.33 a yard. The fabric is good quality and a blue/yellow/gold...

Fun and very lovely.

I absolutely love the mystery block of the month! I have ordered 3, and they are all beautiful. Some I will make the block, some I will use the fabric for something else. It's fun to get fabric that you didn't pick yourself. It takes me out of my "comfort zone",
