What fun this BoM has been. I learned plenty! Ideas flood my brain now, and I have the confidence to try new things.” – Natasha, CA, 2024 Block of the Month Attendee

Stitch the greatest hits with Quiltfolk

Groove along with Quiltfolk in 2025 and quilt the decades in our brand-new Block of the Month program. This interactive, nine-month journey will take you through the “greatest hits” of quilting, spanning from the 1930s to today in the US, Great Britain, and beyond. 

However, this is no ordinary quilt history experience… Get ready to immerse yourself in powerful patchworks from the thrifty thirties, swinging sixties, experimental eighties, and into the ever-evolving present. Like the chart-topping hits that defined these eras, each patchwork tells its own story of creativity and resilience. Beloved workshop hosts and instructors Jenni Smith and Kay Walsh explore the iconic fabric, designs, techniques, and technology that have shaped quilting’s legacy—all of which will inform the fun stitching challenges you complete each month!

What to Expect

Join us April through December 2025 as we stitch the past and shape the present. Jenni and Kay will guide you through a transformative sewing and learning experience, offering pathways, tools, and lots of encouragement. Every session will be engaging, with lively nods to the cultural “soundtracks” of the times, from fashion and film to the rhythms of music that set the tone for each era. Just think of all the potential fabrics you could include! By the end of the year, you’ll revel in the nostalgia of quilts that shifted the needle, while putting your own spin on time-honored traditions.

Monthly Live Stream Sessions, April - December 2025

Every month, there will be a two-hour live stream session from 1-3pm PDT (9-11pm BST). During the live sessions, you will experience insightful interviews, join in with creative challenges, and chat with fellow participants. There will always be a few extra surprises along the way, too. You will then put what you learned into practice at your own leisure, sharing your progress as you go!

Note: don’t worry—all live sessions will be recorded for future reference in case you miss a session or would like to revisit any of the lessons!

We are proud to celebrate the unique creativity and individuality of every student. Quilt the Decades will reveal a decade-specific block pattern each month. But, as always, there will be scope to put your own personal spin on everything you make and find a groove that works for you. Like your favorite mixtape, you will create a quilt that speaks your language and will always evoke happy memories of this creative nine-month journey. All skill levels are welcome, and we encourage all students to work at their own pace. Your instructors, Jenni and Kay, endeavor to teach different approaches to patchwork, with detailed video tutorials for every lesson. And don’t forget that you have lifetime access to all of the content so that you can revisit it as often as you’d like!

We are delighted to share that the International Quilt Museum is also partnering with us, and they cannot wait to share their exceptional collection in all its glorious detail. You won’t want to miss out on this time-traveling romp through the decades with Jenni, Kay, and an array of game-changing special guests, quilters, collectors, and historians, such as Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi, Denyse Schmidt, and mother-daughter duo Jean and Valori Wells.

A FREE Live Stream Welcome Party for ALL!

What will the finished quilt project look like?
Quilt the Decades will reveal a decade-specific block pattern each month. But, as always, there will be scope to put your own personal spin on everything you make and find a groove that works for you. Like your favorite mixtape, you will create a quilt that speaks your language and will always evoke happy memories of this creative nine-month journey.

Is there a kit?
This BoM does not include a fabric kit, no. Instead, your hosts will talk you through how to make the most of your current stash! If you’re a beginner or starting without a fabric stash, Jenni and Kay will provide guidance on purchasing any materials you might need to maximize your creative options (while being mindful of budget, of course).

How does billing take place?
You’ll pay a $60 registration fee when you sign up + $25/month for nine months of the BoM, starting April 1, 2025, and ending December 1, 2025. This amount will be automatically processed on the first of every month during the program.

Welcome Gifts!

All registrants will receive a Quilt the Decades-themed notebook, Blackwing pencil, and two themed sticker sheets—to be shipped in March!

Plus—the first 500 sign-ups will also receive a custom Quilt the Decades zipper pouch!
