SewPINK + Two Scoops Scrap Quilt Pattern

I am truly honored to be participating in this year's #SewPINK Initiative blog hop with byAnnie.com! As a part of my turn on the blog hop I have a fun and free scrap buster quilt pattern to share.

But first a bit about #SewPINK...

The #SewPink Initiative's mission is to raise awareness for all types of cancer throughout the year.

All this month we're participating in a blog hop to promote not just awareness, but also self-care, early detection, and support for those affected by breast cancer. 

2025 marks my own NINE(!) year anniversary of becoming a breast cancer survivor so I'm more than happy to participate in this event.

Each day (Sept 30 - Oct 31) you'll find a new blog post of inspiration and education, as well as a fundraiser through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and charity sewing opportunities. (find a clickable version of this calendar here, with direct links to each post)

Maple Valley Quilt Pattern

Today I'm sharing all of the details about the Maple Valley quilt pattern! It's a modern yet timeless version of a fall quilt, perfect for snuggling on those chilly autumn evenings. 

The Maple Valley pattern uses the classic maple leaf quilt block, but in a way that makes them appear as though they're swirling through the air. The falling leaves are then surrounded by a fun and easy pieced border.

The Wishing Quilt Pattern Mockups

I've got a whole load of Wishing quilt inspiration for you today! I had fun mocking up the Wishing quilt pattern in a bunch of different fabrics - some for fall, some Christmas and then plenty of others.

I know sometimes it helps to see a quilt pattern in different fabrics, and it always seems to surprise me how much a quilt changes depending on the colors and prints. 

Wishing in Charming Christmas fabrics

Here's what I love about the Wishing pattern

#1: The Wishing quilt pattern is so great for showcasing fabrics! Those long rows are unpieced so you can use your favorite prints without having to cut them down into small pieces. 

#2: This pattern works for lots of different occasions - Christmas quilts, patriotic quilts, bed quilts, throw quilts...

#3: With only a few star blocks to make (especially for the smaller quilt sizes) it makes it so this quilt sews up fairly quickly. 

Are you ready to see the mock ups? Keep scrolling!

Wishing Quilt Pattern

Introducing the Wishing quilt pattern - the newest pattern in the A Bright Corner pattern shop. 

Wishing is the perfect way to showcase your favorite quilting fabrics. And with just a handful of star blocks to make, this quilt sews up fairly quickly. 

I stitched this one up in the new Mary Catherine fabric line by Amy Smart.

Great for your favorite prints

My original vision for this pattern was to take the concept behind the Star Trails pattern but swap out the thinner pieced rows with some nice wide rows that would be more suited to medium and large scale prints. 

Sometimes it's hard to really love a fabric, but then have to cut it into smaller pieces. I designed the Wishing pattern to make the most use of those favorite prints.

Those long rows in the Wishing pattern are unpieced - meaning there are no vertical seams to break up the prints. 

Juice Pops Quilt in Kona Solids

Today I'm sharing a Juice Pops quilt that I made using two packs of 5" squares from the Kona solids Wildberry palette. 

This quilt was one of those projects that just kept getting put on the back burner. I started it in February with every intention of finishing it in time to use this summer but then you know....other projects came along (hello distractions!) and I kept putting this one to the side. 

I finally finished it up in July and was able to get some photos of it recently. 

Whirled Quilt Pattern in Melody Fabrics

I took a little break from writing new quilt patterns in July and decided to give one of my older patterns an refresh.

Today I'm happy to be able to share the updated Whirled quilt pattern with you!

Whirled patterns now available in the A Bright Corner pattern shop.

Here's what's new in the Whirled pattern! First off, it got a new pattern cover including a new cover quilt and updated colors. 

I also updated the instructions to include a few tip boxes and updated the diagrams to make block construction even easier.

The pattern also now includes more size options and fabric options!

Scattered Showers Quilt Pattern

Introducing the Scattered Showers quilt pattern! Scattered Showers is a fresh, spring-inspired pattern that includes fun umbrella quilt blocks and chain blocks. It is precut friendly and includes plenty of size options for you to choose from. 

The Scattered Showers quilt pattern is available in the A Bright Corner pattern shop. 

I just have to say that I pretty much love any quilt that includes chain blocks (also sometimes referred to as Irish Chain blocks). So when I was sketching out the very first versions of these little umbrella quilt blocks, I knew right away that I wanted to pair them with chain quilt blocks.
