Is there anything more wonderful than the cosiness of fall? Walking through crunchy amber-coloured leaves with a cup of hot chocolate or baking a pie and filling your home with the delicious scent of caramelised sugar. There are so many things to love about this pumpkin-spice season!
But for us, the best thing about fall is spending chilly days sitting by the fire, getting stuck into one of these fall quilt patterns. And the great thing about quilt-making is that you end up with a gorgeous new make that will keep you warm throughout the colder months.
So if you feel like taking a crisp, autumnal leaf out of our book and making a new fall quilt to snuggle up under, check out our favourite fall quilt patterns below!
