Cali & Co. Mystery BOM Block 1
The 2024 Cali & Co. Mystery BOM has arrived! I am so excited to be kicking this block of the month off today with our very first block.
Before sharing more about the new block, I wanted to announce that the winner of the fat quarter giveaway is Cheryl G. Congratulations Cheryl…your package is on the way!
And now onto our first block in the Cali & Co. Mystery BOM. Here it is…super scrappy and full of color.
I made all of my blocks using Tilda fabrics (the block on the left) this past summer and now I am making a block each month using Cali & Co. I think that both versions are going to be so pretty. =)
In today’s video, I am covering fabric cutting plus the block tutorial. It’s a detailed video that covers a lot of information.
The block pattern today includes both the pattern as well as a “helpful information” page. The helpful info page is the first page of the pattern and includes, well, a lot of helpful info! =)
You can download the Block #1 pattern here.
I chat about that first page quite a bit in today’s video. That first page includes information on pre-cutting your fat eighth bundle as well as a portion of the background fabric if you wish to. Alternatively, you can cut the pieces you need each month and skip pre-cutting altogether. I like to give various options so you can work in the manner that you like.
If you are a member of the Coriander Quilts Facebook group, I’d love if you’d share pictures of your completed blocks. =)
If you missed the calendar of dates for this sew along, you can download it here.

What a fun block! I can’t wait to get started on this sew-along 🙂
I hope you enjoy sewing it up!
Hi, where can I find the Cali and Co. fat eighths bundle?
They are sold in local and online quilt shops that carry Moda Fabrics. If you like purchasing online, you can google “Cali co fat eight bundle” to bring up online shops that have them in stock.
Love it, Corey! Both fabric versions are very cute–bright and cheery looking! 🙂
Thank you!
Love love your sweatshirt. Your sister did an awesome job!
She did!
Thank you, Corey! I need to get cutting. Looking forward to seeing the end result! have a great day!
Hi Corey
Nicole’s sweatshirt is awesome. I Love the mint ties to. Thanks for another reason Fabric Line. Cali should become a MODA Basic?
Have a Great week. I know Your all working hard with the move. Stay safe no over lifting.
Up here in below 10 degrees temps like how it use to be.🤓 Saying Hi from a cold MI.

Ordered my fabric, I’m starched, pressed and ready to go!
Wow Corey! Your block was worth being so excited for, I couldn’t sleep all night thinking about your beautiful gift to all of us! I knew it would be good, but this is extra good! Love all the fabrics in one block! So fun, I want to make many large quilts, and give them to those I love!
I agree with you Julia… it’s extra good!
So excited to get started on this project. I’ve got another quilt started with the Cali and Co line that just needs the sashing cut, so I can put the blocks together.
Love all your fabrics Corey! Great job on a beautiful collection.
Love the block, can’t wait to make it. Cali & co is so pretty.
Should it say 2025 BOM?
So excited to get started! Waiting for my starch spray to arrive before I can get started. I ordered it in plenty of time, but the order got canceled by the seller 😞. Love the shirt~Please have Nicole tell us how she did it!
The first block is so pretty!
The extra bits for our bonus project is icing on the cake Thank you!
Love the fabric line and the 1st mystery block!
NICOLES Sweatshirt design is fantastic!
How creative and can’t wait to see how she expands her quilting ideas!
This looks like fun!!
Do you have to starch the fabric first? I’ve only been quilting one year. The block does look beautiful but a bit scary for me! I’m going to do my best!
This is gonna be fun. .I just Got my Calendar All Filled in for your Month to month ..So I Won’t Forget..
Darling Sweatshirt 🤗❣️🌸
Happy 2025..
Here We Go..
I think This is what makes the Years go by do fast. Our BOMS…🤣👏
Gracias, esta muy lindo
Many thanks for this great scrap buster. You are so generous with your designs. The narrow strippy borders are a new look for me. Can’t wait to get started.
WOW! What a start – block #1 is right up my alley. I’m a 50 year quilter – can you imagine the scraps I have? I’ve printed out the first block & I’m making blocks. Handy timing as I just went to the quilt guild meeting earlier this week & picked up 2 overstuffed bags of scraps (yes, I like to ‘freshen up’ my scraps!). Those scraps are already pressed and trimmed up into my regular sized pre cuts. I’m making your block this morning as I just finished 4 quilts. I wanted an easy project I can just enjoy – this is it. Love how scrappy it is, I could make several quilts just from this first pattern. Thank you! Deb / CA
Corey– I’ve been able to find all the fabrics but1 29194-21. Where can I find it? Cant wait to get started! Kathy Osterby kosterby@yahoo.com
Such a cute block! I can’t wait to get started Sunday. Wanted to start today, but too much going on. I purchased the kit from my local quilt shop. First time they offered your fabric, Hope they continue, as you are my favorite designer!
Just pressed all my fabric and am ready to cut! Looks like a lot of fun
I just got home. Couldn’t wait to turn on my laptop to see what the first Cali & co block was. I said out loud–“ooooh!! Can’t wait to make that!!”
I’ve never done a BOM or any kind of sew along. I am so looking forward to it!
I have my fabrics and love Cali & Co! I signed up for your Facebook but only sneered question 1. I am sorry. I can finish if need. I am sorry.
Can’t wait to sew up this block!
