Today, we get to give you a sneak peek of our 2025 Designer Mystery Block of the Month. While you will have to wait to see all 12 blocks together, you do get to learn all the details now! This quilt will inspire creativity and comfort with its 12 sampler blocks made with Abloom by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics. The soft greens, aqua, and cheery peaches will add a ray of sunshine to your heart and home. Join us in making the 18th Annual Designer Mystery Quilt by Fat Quarter Shop!
This year’s quilt is Full Size, finishing at 72.5″ x 92.5″. The Designer Mystery Block of the Month runs from June 2025 through May 2026. Members will receive a block pattern and fabric each month (and don’t worry, there’s a little extra included to allow for starching or miscuts).
The Block of the Month consists of 12 blocks designed by 12 Moda designers, and each block measures 12″ square. Keep reading to meet the 12 wonderful designers at the end of this blog!
Block of the Month Supplies
The 2025 Designer Mystery Quilt is exclusive to Fat Quarter Shop, so you won’t find it anywhere else! To complete your quilt just like ours, pick up the Designer Mystery Finishing Kit, which comes in a beautiful coordinating keepsake box — perfect for holding your blocks and patterns! The Finishing Kit also includes the pattern and fabric for the sashing, borders, and binding to finish the quilt in blooming splendor.
When you reserve the Designer Mystery Backing Set, you will receive 2 1/3 yards of this beautiful bold 108″ floral print and a bonus quilt label, available ONLY with the purchase of this backing set! Both the Finishing Kit and Backing Set will ship with your first shipment of the Block of the Month, so you will have all your finishing supplies on hand.
Optional Notions
If you would like extra help making perfect half-square triangles without the fuss, we suggest using Triangles on a Roll Triangle Paper in H200 and H300. For some help making flying geese, we recommend the 1″ x 2″, 1.5″ x 3″, 2″ x 4″, and 3″ x 6″ Foundation Papers. The 4″ Square in a Square Paper will also be helpful for some blocks. These notions are all entirely optional, but you know how much we love using Foundation Papers!
Guest Designers Featured Each Month
Twelve incredible Moda Designers contributed sampler blocks for this year’s Designer Mystery Quilt! You may recognize some familiar faces and even meet some new ones. We can’t wait for you to get to experience the wonderful design skills of each of these 12 designers in one quilt!

This will be my first Designer Mystery Block of the Month. I love the Abloom fabric and I paid the reservation fees as soon as they were available so I would not miss out. So excited!! Thank you so much.
My first mystery quilt was in 2023 I make this quilt for my grand daughter for Christmas I had every intention in joining this year, but I was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. So financially I better not comment to this beautiful quilt at this time. I will miss not doing it. But it’s the right decision to make at this time. Thanks & Happy sewing Sharla Jacobs
I enjoy receiving the Designer Mystery blocks each month. I am currently enrolled in the 2024-25 one and love each of the blocks so far. I have signed up for the next Designer Mystery and love the colors that I see. Keep up the great work.
I completed the one using the Nantucket fabric and was able to sell it at a local quilt show.
