2026 RBD Block Challenge – Block 1 by Lori Holt

Today is the DAY!! We are kicking off our 2026 RBD Block Challenge and if you’ve sewn along with us before then you know, it’s one of our favorite things we do all year. This community of people truly brings us so much joy and we look forward to every Tuesday. If you’re new to the challenge, be sure to check out our announcement post for all the details!

A common question we have throughout the challenge is what time the blocks are released on the scheduled days. The answer is 10am MT friends! Now, without further ado..

Block 1 by Lori Holt – Four Corners

Our first block is called Four Corners and is designed by Lori Holt. We are sewing our blocks in Confetti Cottons and our Batiks. Be sure to follow along with Lori on Instagram @beelori1 to see her version of her block!

This challenge is for everyone! From beginners to advanced. If you need some guidance with your block construction, or if you enjoy sewing along with someone, Cindy is making every block on our YouTube Channel! Subscribe to our channel and join the fun!

Quilting with Latinas

Our friends Laura and Lina of Quilting with Latinas have translated our patterns into Spanish and are doing their own series of YouTube videos. We thank Lina and Laura for their efforts to expand the RBD Block Challenge community! We will share links to all the assets in Spanish below.
