Riley Blake Camp Woodland Panel Quilt – Free Downloadable PDF Pattern Summary

About This Quilt Pattern

The Camp Woodland Panel Quilt is a free downloadable PDF pattern from Riley Blake Designs, published in 2020. The finished quilt measures a generous 63" x 63", making it a substantial lap or throw quilt with a charming outdoor, woodland camp aesthetic. This is rated as an advanced quilting project, requiring a solid foundation in quilting technique and terminology before beginning. The design is built around a central Camp Woodland Panel (P10467), with fussy-cut squares showcasing the panel's illustrated sayings as focal points throughout the layout.

What Is Being Made

This pattern produces a single, square patchwork quilt featuring Bear Paw Blocks as a primary design element, framed by two distinct borders and accented with coordinating pieced blocks. The quilt incorporates four fussy-cut 18" x 18" squares taken from the Riley Blake Camp Woodland Panel, carefully centered over printed sayings to highlight the panel's artwork. The overall design evokes a rustic, nature-inspired camp theme consistent with the Riley Blake Designs Camp Woodland fabric collection.

Techniques Used

• Fussy cutting – Four 18" x 18" squares are precisely cut from the Camp Woodland Panel (P10467), centered over specific motifs or sayings for intentional placement within the quilt layout.
• Half-Square Triangles (HSTs) – A core technique in this pattern. HSTs are constructed by drawing a diagonal line on the wrong side of 3" Off White Trees (C10466) squares, pairing them right sides together with Pine Life (C10463) squares, sewing a ¼" seam on each side of the drawn line, cutting along the line, and pressing seams toward the dark fabric. Each pair yields two HSTs, which are then trimmed to 2½" x 2½". A total of 80 HSTs are made for the Bear Paw Blocks.
• Bear Paw Block construction – Five Bear Paw Blocks are assembled using the HSTs alongside 4½" Denim Grizzly Bears (C10461) squares and Pistachio Badges (C10465) rectangles and squares, referencing block diagrams provided in the pattern.
• Strip piecing and sub-cutting – Multiple fabrics are cut into strips across the width of fabric (WOF) and then sub-cut into squares and rectangles for efficient, accurate piecing.
• Two-border construction – The quilt features a Border 1 made from 1½" x WOF strips of Pistachio Badges (C10465) and a Border 2 made from 4½" x WOF strips of Navy Main (C10460), adding structured framing around the central design.
• Binding – The quilt is finished with a traditional double-fold binding cut from 2¼" x WOF strips, requiring seven strips total.

Stitches and Sewing Details

• All piecing is sewn with a precise ¼" seam allowance, which is included in all measurements given throughout the pattern.
• All units are sewn with right sides together (RST) unless otherwise stated.
• Seams on HSTs are pressed toward the dark fabric to reduce bulk and ensure crisp points.
• The diagonal sewing method for HSTs involves two lines of straight stitching flanking a drawn diagonal line before cutting, a classic and reliable technique for producing accurate half-square triangles.
