2026 RBD Block Challenge – Block 16 by Tara Reed

We really can’t believe that summer is beginning and we are sharing our very last block pattern of this sew along today. Time has flown by! If you’re new to the challenge, be sure to check out our announcement post for all the details! Even though today is the final block, all the patterns remain available so you can start anytime!

Block 16 by Tara Reed

Our 16th block is called Kaleidoscope Star and is designed by Tara Reed. Tara is sewing along with her new Batiks collection, Around the World Paris! We love the rich hues in her block. Be sure to check out Tara’s Blog Post for post! As always, you can see our two blocks in our Batiks and Confetti Cottons™️.
