2022 NZP Block of the Month Mystery Quilt Series: Gather Your Supplies

Announcing the NEW! 2022 Nancy Zieman Productions Free! Block of the Month Mystery Quilt Series! 

Our NEW! 2022 Nancy Zieman Productions Free! Block of the Month Mystery Quilt Series is a great way to finish a quilt in manageable monthly installments. One block at a time is an easy approach to creating a quilt. Plus our BoM22 is fat quarter friendly. Whether you’re a beginner quilter or seasoned quilter, our block of the month series is a great opportunity to get stitching in the new year. Team NZP is honored to continue Nancy Zieman’s Block of the Month program with our free monthly block sewing tutorials! We’ll be keeping the finished quilt design a mystery until later in December 2022! Hint: This year’s quilt is not a block sampler!

Though we won’t be sharing the blocks today, we will be posting a new quilt block tutorial starting on February 19! And on the third Saturday of each month in 2022. Today we’re excited to announce the featured BoM22 featured fabrics! This year, for the first time, you may choose from two different NEW! Bali Batik Palettes Fat Quarter Bundle Colorways by our friends at Benartex:

Choose Caribbean – Take a dive into the white sand beaches of the islands with the Bali Palettes Caribbean Palette Fat Quarter Pack. The versatile swirls, textures and dots in vibrant shades of aqua, lime and blue with a hint of lemon yellow will have you dreaming of a beach vacation.

Or, choose Rainbow – Fill your world with color and wonder with the Bali Palettes Rainbow collection. Bright floral, leaf and swirl motifs amplify the excitement of this collection. These richly hued blue and purple Bali batiks are sure to add the perfect dose of color to your decor.
