Our quilt is for sale!

Please visit the link in our bio to view our quilt as well as many other beautiful quilts that will be on display at QuiltCon 2026. 100% of the funds raised from these quilts will benefit local Raleigh non-profit, ArtGivers!

“Garden of Gaggles” was made by 35 members of Houston Modern Quilt Guild. The design by @seams.en.pointe explored the theme of a medallion quilt, but within the parameters of a rectangle instead of the traditional square. The quarter square triangle blocks create rows of geese that fly to opposite corners of the quilt. Longarm quilting by @co.op_creative

Our 2026 BOM is here! Be sure to show off your blocks on Discord or Instagram and tag @houstonmqg, #hmqgbom and #hmqgbom2026

A Year of Color, Creativity, and Celebration

Welcome to the 2026 Block of the Month Challenge — a year-long journey through creativity, color, and the spirit of U.S. holidays. This quilt was designed by Michelle Sillimon and each block was specifically chosen to honor a moment in the year.

January Blocks are the New Year Radiant Star & the MLK Day Block ⭐️

How the Challenge Works
• A new block is released each month, with a few bonus blocks sprinkled in.
• To be eligible for prizes, you only need to complete 12 blocks.
• Completing all 20 blocks gives you a quilt that captures the rhythm and celebration of the entire year.

This Block of the Month is meant to be joyful, creative, and community-centered. Sew at your own pace, share your progress each month, and let each block be a small moment of reflection, celebration, and connection.

Charity is an important and meaningful part of our guild. Each year we are blown away by the support of our members - whether it’s through piecing charity quilts, longarming them, or assisting with binding and labeling. In 2025 we were able to donate 77 quilts split between @project.linus.official and @day1bags

🩵🧡💚

To thank our members for their charity support, we run a raffle at the end of the year and award prizes (more charity quilts = more raffle tickets)!

✨

Congrats to Hilary, Belinda & Jennifer for winning during our January meeting! And thank you to @co.op_creative for generously sponsoring the prizes! (did you see the @accuquilt grand prize?!)
