Make This Pretty Block In Your Favorite Fabrics
It’s The First of Several in the RBD Block Challenge!
The first block of the 2026 RBD Block Challenge is this charmer designed by Lori Holt. It’s a lovely block that can take on many different looks depending on color and value placements.
The version below, by Kimberly from Fat Quarter Shop, is made from the Farmer’s Daughter fabrics designed by Lori (available here while supplies last). However, fabric from any line will be charming, or create a nice selection from your stash.

Every year, Riley Blake designers create blocks for a quilt block quilt-along (aka the Block Challenge). You can make one block for use in any project or all of them for their sampler quilt. Either way, it’s a good opportunity to build your block library and perhaps learn new skills (learn more about the 2026 Block Challenge here and find all of the free block patterns here).

Lori’s block kicks off the 2026 Challenge and is beautiful in any color theme. Here are some examples to get you started. Click the links below the photos for more info.
