They say that April showers bring May flowers, but in our case May brought us the Month 5 patterns to continue working on Game On!, The Quilt Show's 2026 Block Of the Month designed by Becky Goldsmith. And who else but Barbara Black would be with us to guide you through the process of what to do next. She says, "This month we make one 3" border and one 6" corner block. This border is one of my favorites, I use it a lot in my quilts. I like it so much I am using it all around for my personal PRINTS version."

Month 5 of Laurel Ridge, The Quilt Show's 2025 Block Of the Month designed by Lynn Wilder, features a favorite block of Barbara Black, and she can't wait to share with you her tips and tricks for getting these blocks made with ease and efficiency. She says, "This month we make Basket Blocks, 20 of them. Many people love basket blocks, as I do, and I am happy to see them in this wonderful sampler quilt."
