25 Free quilt patterns for Fall
Even though some of us might not be ready to say goodbye to summer, September has a way of putting us in the mood for fall quilting. I’ve rounded up 25 of my favorite free quilt patterns for fall—in all shapes and sizes—that celebrate the season. It’s time to embrace the warm colors of autumn, pull out those cozy fabrics, and start stitching!
I’ve divided these autumn quilting patterns into three groups based on size. They are all free patterns or tutorials – many of which have downloadable pdf’s.
Free Patterns for Fall Pillows & Table Runners
- This cute Patchwork Pumpkin Pillow designed by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake Designs has a maple leaf inside the pillow for a perfect combination. The piecing is easy so you could make this one in no time!
- This Patchwork Leaves Pillow would make the perfect companion to the pumpkin pillow above! This also comes from the Riley Blake Designs team.
- The colors and design of this Scrappy Fall Pillow keeps the vibe modern and scrappy. This free pattern is designed by Fran Gulick of Cotton + Joy for Janome.
- Create a beautiful fall pillow with this Mighty Oaks Fall Pillow pattern from American Patchwork & Quilting. The rich colors of autumn definitely shine here.

- My Scrappy Leaves Table Runner is another great project for using small scraps. There’s also a Scrappy Leaf Block pattern for making the quilt block in three different sizes. They’re all a little addictive!
- I love this Harvest Runner from Robert Kaufman that showcases their Autumn Trails batik collection. It measures 58 1/2″ x 18 1/2″ and could be made smaller if you left off the outside border – but those leaves in the border are too cute!

Thanks Julie! Those are some great ideas! It’s still summer here on the north shore of Long Island, NY and I’m trying to enjoy as much outdoor time as I can. The kitty table runner will definitely be on my fall to-do list.
