Modern Bumpkin Quilt

Modern Bumpkin Quilt Pattern
 
Some quilt blocks deserve a second chance.
 
Modern Bumpkin takes the beloved vintage Bumpkin block and gives it a fresh new personality. By reimagining the traditional layout and playing with the sashing, this classic block transforms into a striking, contemporary design full of movement and visual interest. The result is a quilt that honors quilting history while feeling completely at home in today's sewing room. Designed to finish at a generous 97" × 97", Modern Bumpkin is perfect for showcasing your favorite fabric collections, holiday prints, or cherished scraps. The decorative sashing creates endless opportunities to customize the overall look, and the pattern even includes multiple alternative sashing layouts, allowing you to create a quilt that's uniquely your own. This pattern is also pre-cut friendly, making it a wonderful choice for layer cakes while still providing yardage requirements for those who prefer cutting from fabric. Throughout the pattern you'll build classic quilting units—including half-square triangles, strip piecing, and patchwork—into a stunning heirloom quilt that is both enjoyable to make and rewarding to finish. As a special bonus, I had the pleasure of filming this quilt as a tutorial with Natalie Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company, giving you even more guidance and inspiration as you sew.
