Cosy Autumn Quilts to Welcome the Season
As the golden evenings creep in and the first conkers start to fall, there’s no better time to settle down with a cosy autumn quilt pattern. Whether you’re sipping tea under a half-pieced top or finishing off your binding by lamplight, these designs are perfect for the season ahead.
From russet reds to golden browns, we’ve picked a handful of cosy, classic designs — including a few stunners from Laundry Basket Quilts — to inspire your next make. And yes, all are available right here at The Quilting Owl.
1. Pumpkin Quilt
By Laundry Basket Quilts
A soft nod to autumn harvests, this elegant design features gentle curves and rich colours — perfect for playing with burnt oranges, soft greys, and warm neutrals. The shape is organic without being overly themed, so it looks beautiful all year round, not just in October.

2. Forest Floor
This is the kind of quilt that looks like it was made for an autumn afternoon. The design simplicity makes it easy to pull out those leafy greens, moody plums, and bark browns — and build your own little forest on the quilt top.

3. Maple Leaf, Basket and Pumpkins Table Runner
By Laundry Basket Quilts
This one’s a true seasonal quick project — and a lovely one if you want something finished before the leaves are all gone. The classic maple leaf block gets a beautiful makeover with Edyta Sitar’s styling. Try it in amber, green, cranberry, and chestnut for a really rich autumn feel.

4. Autumn Garden
Just because the blooms are fading doesn’t mean your quilts can’t still flower. This design features floral motifs that translate beautifully into autumn colours — think golden marigolds, dusky pinks, and olive greens. It’s a lovely way to ease the garden into the quilt room.
