Well, it's that time of year when all of the pink and red quilts are getting their well-deserved time in the spotlight. So I thought I'd share some details about this sweet, lap sized Midtown quilt made with Lovestruck fabrics.

I finished this up in 2024 and did a quick share on social media but never took the time to share it here. 

The Midtown quilt pattern looks harder than it actually is...I promise!

The pieced rows are sewn together with a shortcut technique called strip piecing. It's a fantastic - and fast - way to use precut fabrics (such as Jelly Roll strips).

The Midtown pattern is also a really fun scrap buster pattern. The scrappy version of Midtown uses some basic foundation paper piecing. If you've never tried foundation piecing or if you consider yourself a beginner paper piecer then the Midtown pattern would be a great pattern for you to expand your skills!

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)

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.

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. 

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.

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

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

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!
