Give a GiftDear Quilting Superstar,
One of the greatest gifts of the fall season is watching the leaves transform into brilliant shades of gold, orange, and red. Our Scattered Leaves Fall Quilt Block may just be the beginning of something beautiful. Incorporate this versatile block into your own quilt design, or stitch up a colourful leaf pile by making several blocks in different autumn-inspired colour combinations. Whether you feature it as a single accent block or combine several into a quilt, table runner, or wall hanging, this fall quilt block is sure to brighten your space with seasonal charm.
This block captures everything we love about autumn, blending warm shades of orange, red, gold, and rich earthy tones to evoke the feeling of sunlight filtering through changing leaves. The delicate dance of colour makes this project both beautiful and rewarding to sew. Using foundation paper piecing (FPP), you’ll create crisp points and intricate leaf shapes that would be difficult to achieve with traditional piecing.
Foundation paper piecing is all about accuracy—and a little patience! The payoff is the ability to create beautifully detailed quilt blocks like this graceful autumn leaf. If you’re already comfortable with foundation paper piecing, this pattern is a wonderful way to keep your skills sharp. If you’re newer to FPP, it’s also an excellent opportunity to practise precision while creating a project you’ll be proud to display.
Looking for ideas? Try making several leaf blocks in different seasonal fabrics and colours to create:
- A striking fall wall hanging
- A festive autumn table runner
- A seasonal throw quilt
- Coordinating quilted pillows
- A thoughtful handmade gift for a fellow quilter or loved one
You could even gather your quilting circle and have everyone stitch a few unique leaves to create a collaborative keepsake filled with memories.
This pattern includes template pieces that let you create your block in the size that best fits your project. Stitch a classic 6-inch block, go bold with a 12-inch version, or mix both sizes together for extra visual interest. Once you start experimenting with different fabrics and colour combinations, you may find yourself creating an entire quilt filled with vibrant fall leaves.
It’s never too early to celebrate the rich, vibrant colours of autumn. Make our Scattered Leaves Fall Quilt Block and bring the beauty of nature indoors—one beautiful stitch at a time.

I love this maple leaf as my maiden name is maple. The regular maple leaf patterns are boring but this one really put the pizzaz in the pattern.
We’re so glad you enjoyed this pattern, Janice! Have a great day 🙂 – Ashley, We Like Quilting
