The Librarian Quilt Pattern (pdf)

Bring storytelling to life in fabric with The Librarian, a quilt pattern designed for quilters who love creativity, detail, and variety. This beautiful design features a library of books quilt block, decorated with ribbons, bias, and trims—perfect for showing off Tula Pink ribbons or your favorite embellishments.

The centerpiece of the quilt is The Librarian owl appliqué, a striking motif that watches over the shelves of books. Surrounding the books and owl are Dresden plate flowers in multiple sizes and elegant appliqué florals, framing the design with stunning texture and movement. You can choose between raw-edge appliqué or turned-edge appliqué for a personalized finish.

To make your quilt truly unique, machine embroidery designs for book titles are included (compatible with an 8" x 11" embroidery hoop). For those who prefer handwork, templates for hand embroidery are also provided. A 22.5° triangle ruler (such as the Creative Grids Dresden Plate ruler) is recommended for piecing the Dresdens. A full template is included in the pattern, but the ruler will make the process smoother.

The sample quilt was stitched in Tula Pink fabrics, highlighting the playful detail of the design, but this pattern works beautifully with any fabric collection you love.
