Pattern Updates

I always work to bring you the best pattern and quilting experience. All my patterns are tech edited and tested, however, patterns still sometimes require an update, whether that is correcting a mistake that snuck in despite our best efforts, clarifying some instructions, or reformatting parts to help with visuals or the flow of quilt construction. If you see anything in a pattern you think requires an update, and you don't see it on the list below, please email me at hello@pennyspoolquilts.com

How to get pattern updates:

If you purchase a PDF pattern through my shop here, you will automatically get an email with the updated version whenever an update is made. If you do not see the update email, you can use the download link in your original order email or log into your account to see all your purchases and download the most current version.

If you purchased it through Etsy, or bought a paper pattern, and would like to get the update, please email me with your proof of purchase.

Corrections:

Dancing Hearts:

  • February 7, 2026: There was a typo in the assembly instructions for the Square-in-a-Square block. In step 5, it should be trimmed to 9" x 9".
    In the cutting instructions for the throw size, fabric 6 for the heart blocks should read: (32) 2.5" x 6.5". And in the baby size, only (8) 6.5" x 6.5" squares of background are needed, not (16).

Flocks of Colour, V2:

  • February 5, 2026: There was a typo in the fabric requirements, the throw in multicolour only requires 17 1/4 yards, not 1/2 yards.

ElemenoQuilt:

  • January 13, 2025: The fabric requirements on the back should have a note that the letter X needs to be cut from 6" x WOF (it does not fit on a F8).

Puffin Head (FPP):

  • July 10, 2024: This affects the printed version only. The colouring and assembly diagrams  in one print run did not match the templates (however, the templates do produce the Puffin Head as shown, the pieces are just divided into sections slightly differently to fit on the booklet pages and the colouring/assembly diagrams did not match this). If you have a printed version where the templates and diagrams don't match, please email me and I can send you the correct assembly diagram.

Puffin (FPP):

  • June 9, 2024: The colouring diagram for section H contained one too many stitching lines, and therefore the numbering was off. The template H is correct, only the colouring diagram was affected. 
    If you have a printed pattern and would like an updated colouring diagram, please email me.

Holiday Spirit:

  • March 24, 2024: There was a mistake in the letter Y. The background fabric should be cut as follows: (2) 3 1/2" x 3 1/2", (2) 4" x 4", (2) 4" x 5". The instructions for Step 1 should read: Make corner triangles on the 6" x 5 1/2" piece of main fabric. Use the 3 1/2" background squares in the top corners of the main fabric rectangles, and the 4" squares in the bottom corners of the main fabric rectangles. Place the squares on the bottom left and top right corner...
    If you have a printed pattern and would like a PDF version of the updated pattern for Letter Y to put in your booklet, please email me.

Scrappy Apple (printable tutorial):

  • September 6, 2023: The fabric requirements for the tree version have been updated. Sections E & F were incorrect, and there was a typo in the instructions for the pumpkin version.

Other (cosmetic) updates:

Party Bunting:

  • January 22, 2026: A few minor cosmetic updates, added a suggestion to use interfacing, mentioned that topstitching is optional, and changed the binding width from 2.5" to 2" for aesthetics.

Festive Forest

  • October 31, 2025: Cosmetic update to visually fit with other patterns, added cutting directions and fabric labels. No changes to the actual pattern.

Holiday Spirit:

  • June 2, 2025: reformatted the PDF to booklet size (to print 2 pages per sheet) and edited some wording to match the other alphabet patterns. No changes to the actual design/pattern.

Ghostly Greetings:

  • April 22, 2025: some instructions were rewritten for more clarity and intuitive workflow, and I have reformatted the PDF to booklet size (to print 2 pages per sheet) as well. No changes to the actual design/pattern.

Twisted Log Cabin (traditional):

  • September 20, 2024: I have added additional explanations and graphics on how to trim the block to size.

Bar Code

  • February 8, 2024: The pattern was updated with a few major changes. The pattern overall is the same (same sizes, same colouring versions) but I have reformatted it to look the same as my new patterns. Some text was edited for clarity (no change in the actual process), the cutting instructions are now in table format, and it includes colouring pages for all sizes.

Flocks of Colour:

  • The pattern was re-released on June 5, 2023. The pattern has been completely rewritten to include more quilt sizes and colouring options, as well as bonus content. If you have the original and need to re-download it, please contact me. Due to the complete overhaul of the pattern, I'm unable to provide the new version as a free update.

Swirly Lollipop (FPP):

  • The pattern was updated on June 5, 2023. This update is purely cosmetic.

Rainbow Star

  • The pattern was updated on May 23, 2023. In addition to cosmetic changes, this update contains some instructions rewritten for clarity, as well as an updated assembly diagram and colouring diagrams that are no longer mirror images (to be in line with all the other FPP block patterns). 

Twisted Log Cabin (FPP):

  • The pattern was updated on May 12, 2023. This update is purely cosmetic.
