20 Years of Quilty Surprises: What's Hiding in the 2027 Mystery Quilt?

Eleanor Vance · 2026-10-30

A new quilting mystery is blooming, and this one comes with a milestone attached. The Designer Mystery Block of the Month turns twenty this year, and the celebration involves twelve brand-new blocks from some of your favorite Moda designers. Each block is stitched in the Sunroom collection by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics, in radiant shades of strawberry, stone, and cloud white. Whether this is your first time stitching along or your twentieth, there's a seat for everyone in the sunroom. Pull up a chair and watch the mystery come together piece by piece. ### How Does the Designer Mystery Block of the Month Work? Starting in June 2027, you'll receive fabric and a pattern for one surprise block each month through May 2028. That's twelve months of not knowing what's inside the envelope until you open it. Each of the 12 blocks comes from a different Moda Fabrics designer and finishes at 12 inches square. Add the coordinating finishing kit, and your completed quilt will measure 62.5 inches by 76.5 inches. That's a generous throw size, perfect for curling up under on a cool evening. ### What Do You Need to Join? Everything you need to uncover the mystery is just a reservation away. Here's how the pieces fit together: - **2027 Designer Mystery Block of the Month:** Join the club to receive monthly fabric and patterns for all 12 mystery quilt blocks. - **2027 Designer Mystery Finishing Kit:** Complete your quilt with coordinating setting, border, and binding fabrics, 2.5-inch Half Square Triangle Paper, a finishing pattern, and a keepsake box. - **2027 Designer Mystery Backing Set:** Finish your quilt with coordinating Sunroom backing fabric and an exclusive quilt label. You can reserve the block of the month on its own or bundle it with the finishing kit and backing set. The keepsake box alone is worth a look if you like keeping your quilting memories organized. ### Meet the 2027 Designer Mystery Designers Twelve Moda Fabrics designers have each contributed a block to this year's mystery. You'll find familiar names alongside designers who may be new to you, and each one brings a signature style to the block they created. - Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts - Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs - Keri Anguiano of Catching Stitches - Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings - Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts - Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life - Stacy Iest Hsu - Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique - Jackie MacDonald of Sweetfire Road - Robin Pickens - Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life - Barbara Groves of Me and My Sister Designs That lineup is a nice mix of longtime favorites and fresh faces. Half the fun of a mystery quilt is guessing which designer made which block before the reveal. ### Reserve Your Spot for the 2027 Designer Mystery There's a special kind of anticipation in waiting for each month's block to arrive, and after twenty years, it never gets old.
