Welcome back to our Classic & Vintage Quilt Series! Today, we’re thrilled to introduce the Ducklings Quilt, a timeless and familiar quilt pattern. Originally found in the Kansas City Star in 1932, the Ducklings block is a new favorite of ours! Join us as we explore the charm of this pattern and share a quilt block video tutorial!

Our rendition of the Ducklings Quilt Pattern offers Tablerunner, Small Lap, Large Lap, and Queen sizes best tailored to intermediate-level quilters. This pattern can also make for a delightful challenge for those seeking to elevate their quilting skills. It is made even easier with the Ducklings Quilt Kit and Backing Set, which includes the optional 2.5″ Triangles on a Roll to help with the accuracy of your block from step one.
We chose the enchanting Raspberry Summer by Sherri & Chelsi for Moda Fabrics for our Ducklings Quilt. Featuring bright and bold hues that remind us of warm and sunny seasons, we knew these blooming florals and intricate geometric designs would be perfect for this high-contrast block.
