True North: One Block, Four Unique Free Projects

True North: One Block, Four Unique Projects

We challenged ourselves to reimagine a single quilt block across four different fabric collections—and the results are as fun as they are inspiring. Each variation brings a fresh perspective to the same core design, and the best part? ALL the patterns are free to view and download on our website!

True North La Fleur Quilt
The latest version of the True North block comes to life in La Fleur, where we used a soft floral flannel in the background and borders to create a vintage-inspired vibe. This quilt uses just four fabrics to make two distinct blocks in a positive/negative layout, adding subtle contrast and texture to this gentle, cozy design.

True North Patchwork Blue Quilt
In Patchwork Blue, the block takes on more of a sampler look. Colored in four unique ways, you’ll make three of each variation and arrange them differently in each row for a playful, scrappy effect. Use the collection’s cheater print for the backing and enjoy a quilt that looks beautiful on both sides!

True North Table Runners
We also created two table runners that explore transparency, shading, and color play using just three True North blocks and a simple added border.

• Daybreak focuses on delicate neutrals and subtle tonal shifts.
• Lilac Lane uses layered purples, lavenders, and pops of green for a soft yet vibrant look.

Large-scale florals from these collections make the perfect backing for a dramatic finishing touch. It’s amazing how one block can take on so many personalities just by switching up the fabric!

All four fabric collections: La Fleur, Patchwork Blue, Lilac Lane, and Daybreak, are available now at quilt shops.
