Riley Blake Apple Pie - Downloadable PDF

Riley Blake Apple Pie Quilt

Project Overview

The Riley Blake Apple Pie is a downloadable PDF quilting pattern designed by Jina Barney that creates a finished quilt measuring 58" x 68". This intermediate-level quilting project combines piecing techniques to construct a charming apple-themed quilt suitable for quilters with some foundational experience.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a complete quilt featuring the Apple Pie block as its primary design element. The quilt design incorporates multiple blocks arranged to create the finished dimensions of 58" x 68", making it an ideal size for a throw quilt or lap quilt.

Block Construction and Design

The Apple Pie block is the foundation of this quilt pattern. The finished Apple Pie block measures 4" x 4", while the Finished Apple block measures 6" x 6". The pattern instructions guide quilters through constructing individual blocks that are then assembled into the larger quilt top.

Quilting Techniques Used

• Piecing: The primary construction method involves sewing fabric pieces together with right sides together using standard quilting seam allowances
• Triangle Units: Quilters create Triangle Units by sewing clean white solid triangles to each side of red herringbone rectangles
• Center Unit Construction: The pattern includes creating a Center Unit by sewing red herringbone rectangles to blue stripe squares
• Block Assembly: Individual units are sewn together following the block diagram for proper piece placement

Stitches and Seam Details

All measurements in this pattern include a ¼" seam allowance, which is the standard for quilting projects. Quilters sew pieces with right sides together unless otherwise specified in the instructions, following traditional quilting construction methods.

Materials Required

This pattern utilizes fabric in multiple colors and prints, including red herringbone print rectangles, blue stripe squares, and white solid fabric for triangles. While the PDF does not specify needle or thread types, standard quilting supplies including a sewing machine, rotary cutter, quilting ruler, and cutting mat are typical requirements for completing this project.

Difficulty Level

Rated as intermediate difficulty, this pattern is appropriate for quilters who have completed basic quilting projects and are comfortable with piecing multiple units and following block diagrams.
