Cali & Co. Mystery Block 12 + Finishing Instructions

We’ve done it friends…we’ve made it to the final block of our Cali & Co. Mystery BOM. What a fun year of sewing it has been.

This is the last block that you need to complete for the quilt.

You can download block 12 here.

Our last Coriander Quilts video of the this year includes a block tutorial for this final block as well as a talk through of the finishing instructions.

You can download the finishing instructions here.

Speaking of finishing instructions….here’s what our finishing looks like.

This is my completed quilt top using the Tilda fabrics.

I’ll be sharing my completed Cali & Co. quilt top the third Saturday of January.

Thank you all so much for sewing along! I hope you enjoy making your final block and completing your quilt top. =)

I wish you a wonderful rest of 2025! (I’ll be popping in for one final blog post to announce the winner of last week’s giveaway).

    Hi Corey, I love the finishing for this BOM Quilt! I still have all my scrappy stash fabrics out and will be very happy to put more to use. This was such a fun and special program, and I so appreciate all your hard work on our behalf. Thank you (and Ryan), too, for your weekly videos. I learn so much, love seeing your new products and designs, and your personal touches with your treasured finds, gardening and recipes. It’s just like a visit to my home by my most favorite sweet and fun friend. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and please pass along to Nicole blessings for her sweet new baby boy.

    Hi Corey, I have enjoyed doing the mystery blocks and like the final project. I like to use leftovers on the backs of my quilts but I don’t know what I need to save for the bonus project. Can you at least give us some idea of what we will need for the bonus project? I hate to wait till next month to finish the quilt. Thanks.

    Corey, thank you for all you have taught us this past year. The BOM process was a blast and was perfect for me, considering I’m living in an RV while we are building our new home. I was able to keep up with each block in my tiny space and I still felt connected with my quilting friends. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.

I look forward to every Saturday for your videos. It’s like a visit with a friend. Filled of positivity and joy. I enjoyed your shop hop through Ohio. Many thanks to you and your family for taking us along for the fun adventure. May 2026 bring you blessings and love, Silvia

  47. Hi Corey!
    I love everything Corey Yoder (fabric, patterns, YouTube, videos)! Question for you: I am using the Bloomtopia pieced backing fabric for a couple of grandkids quilts that were born in 2025. Do you have a pattern for other numbers besides the 2020? Thanks and Happy New Year!

  48. Marta Johnson says:

    Hi Corey,

    I just loved this mystery so much that I would like to do it as a Mystery for my Quilt Guild. I am the new President and thought it would be so much fun. Are you going to have this up for 2026? So they could go in and download every month? If not, could I give them a copy of mine. If you need to charge for those, I would so understand. Please email me at ms.marta@gmail.com. I would love them to use your fabric and have a great time as I did.
    Thanks so much for such a fun Mystery! Marta

  49. Denise Enyi says:

    I love the pattern and how it turned out. My question is what to do with the 3.5×3.5 half square from the corners. Thank you

  50. Barb Bast says:

    Hi Corey, I have finished the inside of the BOM quilt and am ready for the borders…it was so fun each month to see the different blocks…did I miss the completion for the little blocks that were cut from the corners? I was wondering what to do with them…thanks Barb. in St. Louis….
