Riley Blake Anne of Green Gables Quilt Pattern – Free Downloadable PDF

This free downloadable PDF quilt pattern from Riley Blake Designs celebrates the beloved literary classic with a charming, structured quilt design measuring a generous 64" x 64" finished size. Licensed officially through the Anne of Green Gables Licensing Authority Inc. and featuring illustrations by Jill Howarth, this pattern is a wonderful project for quilters who want to combine a meaningful theme with satisfying patchwork construction. It is rated as an intermediate difficulty project, making it ideal for quilters who have moved beyond beginner basics and are comfortable with precise cutting, piecing, and pressing.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a square lap or throw quilt measuring 64" x 64". The design incorporates a combination of patchwork blocks built from half square triangles and simple squares, framed with a border and finished with a traditional binding. The layout draws on the Anne of Green Gables fabric collection to create a cohesive, storybook-inspired aesthetic. As noted in the pattern, the quilt and block diagrams are virtual images, so the final appearance will vary depending on how individual fabric prints are placed — adding a personal, one-of-a-kind quality to every finished quilt.

Fabrics and Materials Required

This pattern is designed specifically around the Anne of Green Gables fabric collection by Riley Blake Designs. The required fabrics are:

• 1 Anne of Green Gables 10" Stacker (SKU: 10-10600-42) — a pre-cut bundle of 10-inch squares used as the primary feature fabric (labeled as piece A in the pattern)
• 1¼ Yards Eggplant Main (C10600 Eggplant) — a rich, deep purple solid or tonal used as a key structural fabric
• ⅝ Yard Grape Floral (C10603 Grape) — a floral print in grape tones, used for squares and structural pieces
• 1¾ Yards Parchment Text (C10604 Parchment) — the largest yardage requirement, this light text print serves as a background and border fabric
• ⅝ Yard Basil Blossom (C10605 Basil) — a green-toned floral used for the first border strips

Binding is cut from the Grape Floral fabric, requiring 7 strips at 2¼" x width of fabric (WOF). All seam allowances throughout the pattern are a standard quilting ¼ inch.

Tools and Notions

As with all quilting projects, you will need a rotary cutter, self-healing cutting mat, and quilting ruler for accurate cutting. A sewing machine capable of a consistent ¼" seam is essential. Basic quilting notions such as pins, an iron and pressing surface, and quilting thread are also required. No hand-sewing needles or crochet hooks are involved — this is a machine-pieced quilting pattern.

Cutting Requirements

The pattern provides detailed cutting instructions for each fabric. Quilters are advised to label all pieces as they are cut and to read through all instructions before beginning. Key cuts include:

• Grape Floral: 4 strips at 5" x WOF, sub-cut into 26 squares at 5" (piece C); 3 strips at 4½" x WOF, sub-cut into 20 squares at 4½" (piece E); 9 strips at 2½" x WOF, sub-cut into 144 squares at 2½" (piece D); and 7 strips at 2¼" x WOF for binding
• Basil Blossom: 6 strips at 2½" x WOF for Border 1
• Anne of Green Gables 10" Stacker: 13 squares selected specifically for the half square triangle units
