Today I get to share the newest quilt pattern in the A Bright Corner pattern shop. Introducing Brick Lane - a fresh take on the classic brick road quilt pattern.
Brick Lane is precut friendly, great for beginner quilters, and is a quick and easy quilt pattern. I stitched this sample up in Fieldrush fabrics.
Because of the size of the blocks, Brick Lane is perfect for using your favorite medium and large scale prints. You get to really show them off!

Today I'm sharing a sample of the Scattered Showers quilt pattern all sewn up in a lovely mix of blue, green, and purple blender fabrics.
I finished this one up last year and I have to admit that it's one of my favorite quilts that I've made in the last few years. I'm such a sucker for blues and greens!
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.
#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!

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.
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.
