Moda Fabrics Ten Little Things Book Quilt – Downloadable PDF Pattern Summary

The Ten Little Things Book Quilt is a creative and interactive quilted quiet book designed by Angela Yosten and published by Moda Fabrics. This free downloadable PDF pattern guides intermediate-level quilters through constructing a soft, fabric-bound book measuring 11¾" x 13¾", complete with functional pages, pockets, a zipper closure, chalk cloth writing surfaces, and decorative twill tape binding. It is an ideal project for children, combining tactile learning elements with traditional quilting craftsmanship.

About the Ten Little Things Book Quilt

This project is classified as a quiet book — a soft, interactive fabric book designed to engage young children with sensory and educational play. Unlike a traditional flat quilt, this design is structured like a bound book with multiple interior pages, a front cover, pockets, and functional embellishments. The finished book measures 11¾" x 13¾", making it a comfortable lap-sized activity book for small hands.

The pattern incorporates a numbers theme, referencing a dedicated "Numbers" panel among the interior pages. The design is rated intermediate difficulty, making it best suited for quilters who are already comfortable with basic piecing, topstitching, and working with specialty materials such as chalk cloth and stabilizer.

Key Design Features

• Quiet book format with multiple fabric pages bound together
• Front cover with topstitched seams for a polished, structured finish
• Interior "Numbers" panel page with a pocket (Fabric C) for interactive play
• Black chalk cloth pages that allow children to write and erase, adding a reusable activity element
• Zippered pocket using a 14" black zipper for secure storage
• Eyelet embellishments using 20 XL eyelets (Dritz #660 65) for binding the book pages together
• ABC or 123 Twill Tape by Moda (#2109) threaded through the eyelets to bind the book, adding a charming decorative and functional detail

Techniques Used

This pattern draws on a wide range of quilting and sewing techniques, making it an enriching project for intermediate quilters looking to expand their skills beyond traditional flat quilts.

Quilting and Sewing Techniques

• Topstitching – used prominently on the front cover and panel seams to reinforce structure and add a neat, professional appearance
• Pocket construction – a fabric pocket is integrated into the Numbers panel page using a lining cut from coordinating Marble Flannel
• Zipper insertion – a 14" black zipper is installed to create a functional zippered pocket within the book
• Eyelet setting – 20 XL eyelets (two packs of Dritz #660 65) are set into the pages to allow the twill tape to bind the book together, similar to a ring-bound or laced notebook
• Strip piecing – Jelly Roll strips are cut down and pieced to form the book page backgrounds
• Stabilizer sandwiching – each book page is constructed with Soft and Stable by Annie as the interior support layer, giving the pages body and durability
• Binding application – premade Bella Black binding (QB2 4518) is used to finish the outer edges of the book, requiring 16 yards total
• Chalk cloth integration – Black Chalk Cloth (#OC48) is cut into rectangles and incorporated as writable, erasable page surfaces
