This Monthly Bible Quilt® Journal has the overall theme of "Building on a Firm Foundation." Each month explores topics related to strengthening our faith through various disciplines and intentional practices. It was released in 2023 and the BQ Community focused on these topics together throughout the year:
- Jan - Prayer
- Feb - Discernment
- Mar - Word of God
- April - Salvation
- May - Holy Spirit
- June - Presence of God
- July - Worship Him!
- Aug - Truth
- Sept - Love Your Neighbor
- Oct - Acts of Service
- Nov - Hospitality
- Dec - Home & Family
The monthly reference list bookmark set is available as a free printable using the code FREELIST. These are listed separately as a digital product so that you can personalize them however you would like and it keeps it flexible if we have to make corrections or updates along the way.
This Monthly BQ journal was designed to provide you with a year's worth of 28-, 30-, and 31-day formatted two-page spreads as well as an assortment of featured templates for you to create with each month. I've included a two=page spread for Lent and a Bible reading tracker, which is a great way to document your progress reading through the Bible. A monthly calendar page is also provided for you to use as a place to track devotional readings, your Bible-reading plan, Bible study assignments, BQ monthly themes & daily verses, the letter-of-the-week for the ABC Bible Quilt Journal, etc. I've enjoyed using mine as a devotional planner and it's helped me be more intentional in my time in the Word!
Two blank pages are integrated between the monthly layouts to offer you space to create your own pages, take sermon notes or add other BQ templates.
This 100-page journal has a clear protective front cover. It includes a colorful set of topic and month tabs. Inside the back cover is a book pocket with a small ruler, a prayer card, and a sticker sheet of the monthly topic titles.
At the very back of the Monthly BQJ is a flip card set which can be used to catalogue daily verses for your selected theme for each month. Once you tear out these extra pages from the back of your journal, you'll have extra "growing room" as you add embellishments to your pages throughout the year. If you're interested in additional flip card sets, there's a printable version available.

Join the Bible Quilt community as we explore a different theme each month and focus on a daily verse about that topic. We'll be chatting about our experiences in monthly Zoom chats and sharing pages-in-progress on the website and in the Bible Quilt Journal Facebook group. I'm grateful for the Bible Quilters from around the US who helped create scripture reference lists for our 12 topics in this uniquely designed journal. This is a wonderful way to stay in the Word together, building each other up as we go!
Note: This journal is NOT dated so it can be used for any year. That allows you to jump in with these themes at anytime!
