Happy New Year! Let’s start the new year off with some delicious desserts and who doesn’t love some raspberry cheesecake? There are some awesome blocks with the theme of dessert for January 2023. You should be able to find a block that will temp your taste buds. Our complimentary block of the month for Quilt Block Mania, during the month of January 2023, Raspberry Cheesecake Block, is great for making a small quilt or table runner. If you like receiving the complimentary blocks from Quilt Block Mania, please share this with your quilting friends on social media (please ask them to sign up for their own copy) so the designers can continue to do this every month. The designers thank you for your support, through your purchases of other patterns, which allow us to offer these complimentary block patterns each month.
During January 2023, we are offering 20% off one of our Spring patterns. It is the Mayfair Terrace quilt pattern, a fun appliqué project, which also includes the instructions to make an alternate table runner. The link to this pattern is here: downloadable-patterns/
Quilt Block Mania has 21 talented quilt designers creating blocks for this month’s theme- dessert. There were no theme colors this month.
This is the Raspberry Cheesecake Block. This block features a red raspberry star on a cream cheesecake and dark brown graham cracker crust background. This block looks good enough to eat. Yum!
The Raspberry Cheesecake Block makes a great 32″ square quilt with a 1″ finished light pink inner border and a 3″ finished dark brown outer border. It also makes a nice 20″ x 44″ table runner with 3 blocks, a 1″ finished light pink inner border and a 3″ finished dark brown outer border.
If you like many different toppings on your cheesecake, you could mix it up with strawberry, blueberry, lemon and lime and add a dark brown binding to frame the cheesecake border.
