American Patchwork and Quilting | Lori Miller Designs

I have a new Block of the Month (BOM) that I wanted to share called Points of Interest. I designed this quilt once again for American Patchwork and Quilting magazine for 2025-2026. This beautiful quilt Is designed to look like one giant quilt block in beautiful hues of blue and green.

This BOM is in full swing and it is not too late to join in. Patterns for the blocks are available FREE on the All People Quilt Website.

And the best part, you can choose from either Rotary cutting OR AccuQuilt cutting directions, so everyone can participate.

This quilt finishes at 64 1/2″ X 80 1/2″. I used the Texture collection by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs. They are a lovely set of blenders. The All People Quilt website has all of the fabric requirements and instructions. Remember, those Instructions will be included for traditional Rotary Cutting AND for AccuQuilt Cutting.

If you are using AccuQuilt die cutting, you will need the following dies:

55776 GO! Qube Mix & Match 8″ Block
55785 GO! Qube 8″ Companion Set – Corners
55789 GO! Qube 8″ Companion Set – Angles
55650 GO! Qube 16″ Block Shape 1 or 55058 GO! Square 8 1/2″
55650 GO! Qube 16″ Block Shape 3 or 55400 GO! Half Square Triangle 8″ Finished (discontinued)
55017 Strip Cutter 2 1/2″ (2″ Finished) (Optional)

This quilt uses the 8″ Qube to make the quilt top. The blocks are 8″ square. But of course I had to try something different, so I am using the 4″ Qube to make a mini version of the quilt. You can see my progress for the first four blocks above.

This quilt might look complicated but the individual blocks are easy to piece and sew together.

This quilt was designed with EQ8 Quilt Design Software. It is my go to tool for designing beautiful quilts. Electric Quilt is offering the project file for this quilt for free to use with EQ8 Quilt Design Software. You can color and design your own version of the quilt. You can find it HERE!

i hope you will join me on this Block of the Month and share your versions of the Quilt on the American and Patchwork Quilting Block of the Month site on facebook. All the information is available at All People Quilt.

Happy Quilting!

I am so excited to announce that I was asked to design Happy Hues, the new Block of the Month (BOM) for American Patchwork and Quilting. All People Quilt will be exploring color, contrast and value with this medallion quilt in a rainbow of hues.

Patterns will launch on the second Tuesday of each month. And for this BOM, they will provide BOTH Rotary cutting and AccuQuilt cutting directions. That means everyone can join in!

The center block of the Quilt is from my Sweet Sixteen EQ8 Block Library for AccuQuilt called Bursting Star.
