Little Birdie Makes a Nest is a sweet and simple free quilt pattern download designed to showcase the charm of 10" quilt blocks. It was created to pair beautifully with our Little Birdie Makes a Nest quilt, but the layout is versatile enough to use with any set of 10" blocks you love.
All of our patterns are designed and written by humans (Mom and I), not AI, and they've all been test sewn to ensure you have the best experience - (well... we do use some calculators for the quilty math ;-).
This pattern is a wonderful choice when you want a quilt that feels thoughtful and put together without being overly complicated. Just add a few borders and easy setting pieces, and your favorite blocks can quickly become a finished quilt top.
Whether you are working with panel blocks, printed blocks, appliqué blocks, or a collection of coordinating designs, this pattern gives you a flexible way to turn them into a cozy quilt with a polished look.

I plan to make a baby blanket gift. So cute
Oh, this one's my soft spot — thank you, Sharon! A handmade baby quilt is such a treasure for a little one, and the bunny and bear are just waiting to be snuggled. I'd love to hear how it turns out once it's stitched up. — Christine
I added additional borders to the pattern to make it 43x43 and it will have a
minkey back on it when it is longarmed...it is super cute!
Linda, thank you so much — and what a joy to see your photo!! Your Sleepy Bunny Balloon quilt turned out absolutely darling. Taking it out to 43x43 with those added borders and a soft minky back is going to make the coziest little quilt once it's longarmed — your finishing touches are what make it special. Thank you for sharing it with us, and happy stitching! — Christine
This panel is darling and the pattern is simple, easy to make. This will highlight the panel perfectly.
Doris, thank you so much — this made my whole day! The Tiny Tea Time Friends panel is such a sweet one. I'd love to see it once it's pieced together — please come back and share a photo when it's finished. Happy stitching!
— Christine
