Understory is a 9-month Block of the Month program that creates a charming woodland scene filled with delicate leaves and whimsical red-capped mushrooms. The finished quilt feels both cozy and storybook-like—perfect for nature lovers and quilters who enjoy detailed, satisfying piecing. Each pattern set is printed in full color and packaged in a clear, reusable plastic envelope—perfect for attractive shop display and long-term storage.

Inside, the 8.5" x 11" pages are organized into 9 monthly sections with handy divider tabs to help quilters easily keep track of instructions and templates as they progress through the program. This 46-page pattern is thoughtfully divided into manageable monthly segments so quilters can enjoy steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. While this program is similar to a traditional Block of the Month program, each month includes multiple components that build toward the final woodland scene rather than a single block.

Paper templates are included in the pattern. Optional hard template sets are available separately. Skill Level: Intermediate Sizes Included: Toddler, Throw, Twin, Queen, King Fabric Collection: Winter Haven by Rachel Rossi for Benartex (Shipping Spring 2026)

Rachel will be hosting a sew-along on her website to support quilters throughout the program. Quilt shops are warmly encouraged to join the fun by running their own in-store or online BOM groups. The sew-along will include giveaways, inspiration, and encouragement to help customers stay engaged—and to support their local quilt shops.
