Riley Blake Howling Wolf Quilt Pattern – Free Downloadable PDF

The Riley Blake Howling Wolf pattern, published by Greg & Company, LLC under the Penny Rose Fabrics label, is a striking 76" x 76" square quilt built around a dramatic wolf-themed center panel. This is a free downloadable PDF pattern that celebrates the rugged beauty of the outdoors through the Majestic Outdoors fabric collection. The finished quilt makes an impressive throw or bed topper and is ideal for nature lovers, hunters, or anyone drawn to wilderness-inspired home décor.

Design Overview

The quilt centers on a wolf main panel (P5570 Wolf) from the Majestic Outdoors collection, surrounded by pieced borders that frame the panel with coordinating prints and solids. The design uses a combination of rectangles, squares, and multiple border rounds to build outward from the focal panel, creating a structured, medallion-style layout. The result is a bold, graphic quilt that lets the wolf panel remain the visual centerpiece while the surrounding piecing adds color, texture, and movement.

Fabrics and Materials Required

This pattern is designed specifically for the Majestic Outdoors fabric line by Riley Blake Designs. The required materials include:

• 1 Majestic Outdoors Fat Quarter Stack (FQ-5570-12) – a curated bundle of assorted prints from the collection
• 1 Wolf Main Panel (P5570 Wolf) – the focal centerpiece of the quilt
• 1¾ yards Green Forest (C5573 Green) – a rich forest green used extensively in the pieced borders
• 1 yard Brown Pinecone (C5574 Brown) – a warm brown accent fabric
• ¼ yard Basil Trento (C130 Basil) – a deep basil-toned solid from the Trento solid line
• ¼ yard Evergreen Trento (C130 Evergreen) – a cool evergreen solid
• ¼ yard Mushroom Trento (C130 Mushroom) – a soft neutral solid
• 2½ yards Parmesano Trento (C130 Parmesano) – the largest yardage requirement, used for background squares and border elements throughout the quilt
• ⅝ yard for binding

The combination of printed fat quarter fabrics alongside Riley Blake Trento solids gives the quilt a grounded, earthy palette that complements the wolf panel's natural tones of forest green, brown, and neutral cream.
