Questions

How many free patterns are in this collection?

32 right now, from 16 to 119 pieces each. 7 of them are beginner-friendly. All are free to recolor and print, with no sign-up.

Which block here is easiest?

The gentlest are Camping Tent (19 pieces in 3 sections), Pine Tree (16 pieces in 4 sections) and Sunrise (22 pieces in 4 sections). Fewer sections means fewer joins to line up.

Can I change the season of a nature block?

Yes. Swap greens for golds and rusts and a summer block turns to fall. Open it in the tool, click a piece, then click a fabric.

Can I download these patterns as a PDF?

Yes. Each pattern opens in NiftyFifty's free FPP tool, which prints the foundations or downloads a PDF with a 1-inch test square, an assembly map, the sewing order and every foundation at exact size with 1/4-inch seam allowance.
