We have made it to Summer!!! And with the new month of June we have a new $5 Pattern of the Month here at Happy Quilting!!! And oddly enough, it is all about Fall!! I know that seems weird, but all of the beautiful Fall Fabric lines are coming out right now, so I figured what better pattern for this month of June than Swirling Leaves . And it is just $5 all month long!!!
Swirling Leaves has 6 size options. And like I said, these are big blocks, so trying to change up the size of the quilt can get a little creative. That is why 3 sizes have borders, and 3 do not :) You can really create a stunning Fall quilt in whatever size works best for you!! The pattern is great for mastering your half square triangles and chain piecing.
Here is the Queen Size in Acorn Hollow by Basic Grey. This is one that I totally want to make as I have been wanting to remake this quilt with a light background. And you know I love Grunge and this Basics White Grunge has just the perfect touches of green to add to this beautiful fall palate. Don't you just love this soft take on Fall!! I know I sure do :)
And it's always fun to play things up with a colored background. Rich Yellow's make for such happy Fall Quilts. This is the Lap Size in Pumpkin Spice by Simple Simon and I just pulled the two yellow prints from the line and used one for the background and one for the binding. Isn't that just so sweet!! You know I am all about that Plaid binding ;)
And if you are a fan of the "down and dirty" Primitive Gatherings new Pumpkin Spice Gatherings line will make a stunning Swirling Leaves quilt!!! This is the King size which is the same blocks as the queen, but we added a border ;) And I pulled a great love volume from the line for the background, I just love how it makes all of those vibrant fall colors just pop!! Wouldn't this just be a stunner on your bed come September!!
And just like the original, you can never go wrong with a dark background!!! How goregous is this picnic size quilt in The Awe of Autumn by Sandy Gervais! Once again, I pulled one color from the line to use as the background, border, and binding (lovely browns) and then used all of the pretty soft shades of fall in the piecing. Isn't that just a stunner. Makes me want to curl up with a book under a tree when the leaves are falling ;)
And that is my $5.00 Pattern of the Month!!! June 2025 is all about the Swirling Leaves Pattern!!! I really think you are just going to love making this quilt ;) And of course, if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;) And when you make your Swirling Leaves Quilts I would love to see them!!!
