Prickly Pear Block - Benartex Fabrics Block Hop 2026

The Benartexperts Spring 2026 Block Hop is a free, community-driven quilt-along celebrating the beauty and versatility of Benartex Superior Solids. Join quilters around the world as we sew a sampler quilt together—one designer block at a time.   Each block is created by a different BenartExpert or designer and shared as a free pattern on their website and via email.

The Prickly Pear Block.  
It's a super fun block to make and also is a great project to fine tune your precision piecing skills and scant 1/4" seam.
