I have been hinting at a new Block of the Month (BOM) project for a while now, but I wanted to wait until everything was finalized before making an announcement. Well, the wait is over! I am thrilled to announce… drum roll please… Safari, my new BOM for 2025!
This BOM will be a little different from the last few years. I have decided to go with just nine blocks instead of twelve. A new block will be released each month from January to September. The finishing instructions, which will still be available for free, will follow in October, with the full pattern available for purchase in November. Since December is always such a busy time, we will take a break for Christmas, and—if all goes well—I hope to have another BOM ready for 2026. I already have something in mind, but for now, let us enjoy the adventure of a Safari!
The Safari quilt will feature a different animal each month. Each design will showcase the animal in a whimsical, cartoon-inspired style—just the animal, without any human-like behaviours. There will be no monkeys or hippos in this quilt. I think we have had our fill of monkeys, and with my Happy Hippo Hop quilt and matching pillow already in the mix, it is time to explore new options.
I am so excited to start another BOM, and I hope you are just as excited to join me!




Looking forward to this! Merry Christmas,! Thanks again for sharing your talents
I’m looking forward to this!! I love making quilts with you.
I really am looking forward your wonderful animal patterns! I often use them in Isolation as a Center piece for a charity children’s quilt!
I’m so happy to hear about that you’re going to do this. Thanks again for your generosity and time.
Sounds adorable. Can’t wait. Thanks! Happy Holidays.
Love your BOM for 2025. Going to be so much fun putting it together.

Hi Beatrice,
Great idea ! Maybe I’ll try making these in the mini version ? 🙂
This is going to be a great quilt. I can’t wait to make it for some little child!
