The Sprout Quilt by Lou Orth Designs is a charming, modern quilt pattern inspired by nature, featuring colourful leaves arranged in beautiful repeating rows.
With its bold geometric leaf shapes, simple construction and contemporary floral-inspired design, Sprout is a wonderful way to showcase your favourite quilting cottons and coordinating fabric collections.
Using simple diagonal corner piecing and traditional patchwork techniques, the pattern creates pairs of leaves that can be arranged with or without contrasting stems. The chunky shapes allow beautiful prints and colours to take centre stage.
With three finished quilt sizes — Baby, Lap and Bed — Sprout is perfect for creating a colourful nursery quilt, a cozy handmade throw or a statement bed quilt.
The pattern also includes instructions for two additional project sizes: Medium and Mini. These smaller leaf designs are ideal for incorporating into handmade cushions, tote bags, pouches and other creative sewing projects.
Choose playful florals, earthy natural tones, bright solids or coordinating prints to create your own garden-inspired design. The option to sew with or without coloured stems gives Sprout even more versatility.

Suggested Fabrics
This pattern is designed for stable woven quilting fabrics. The designer's yardage requirements assume fabric with a minimum usable width of 40" (approximately 102 cm).
For colourful leaf blocks:
- Quilting cottons in coordinating colours and prints
- Cotton poplin
- Floral and botanical cotton prints
- Fat Eighths and Fat Quarters in complementary colours
- Bold solid-coloured woven cottons
- Coordinating fabric scraps for the smaller projects
For the background:
- Solid-coloured quilting cotton
- White, ivory or cream cotton for a fresh, airy design
- Soft neutral fabrics for an understated look
- Dark cotton for a bold contrast against colourful leaves
For the optional stems:
- Contrasting solid-coloured quilting cotton
- Coordinating cotton prints
- Green, brown or other accent colours that complement your leaf fabrics
Tip: Select fabrics with enough contrast against the background to highlight the leaf shapes. For a natural botanical effect, choose earthy greens, warm browns and floral prints. For a contemporary version, experiment with bold contrasting colours.
Design Tip: Try both versions of the pattern — with coloured stems for a more defined botanical look, or without contrasting stems for a cleaner, geometric appearance.

Shipping fees are automatically calculated based on the weight of your order, with several delivery options and prices available.
If a carrier does not service your address, we may need to use an alternative option, which could incur additional charges, particularly for P.O. box addresses.
For remote or rural areas where delivery costs are higher, additional fees may apply. In these cases, we will provide proof of the shipping costs to ensure transparency.

For customers in other Canadian provinces, the USA, or internationally, we offer a range of shipping options through various carriers. The customer is responsible for selecting their preferred shipping method at checkout.
Please note that our system provides an estimated shipping cost at checkout, which may not always reflect the actual shipping charges.
In cases of oversized orders, shipments to rural or remote areas, or delivery to P.O. boxes, the final shipping cost may differ. If this occurs, we will contact you directly with the updated shipping cost, which will be the responsibility of the customer.

These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Customers agree to pay any duties, taxes, fees, or charges required by the destination country in order for customs to release the package. Failure to pay such charges may result in your order being returned or abandoned by the carrier, and no refunds will be issued for duties or unused shipping fees.

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable. Missing or pulled knit stitches on the wrong side of the fabric that do not distort the face are also considered acceptable. Additionally, fabric cut at 1 to 3 cm from the edge is acceptable. Stains on the inside of the fabric are also acceptable if they do not appear on the right side.
Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
We cannot cancel or refund orders once we've cut your fabric. If a refund is necessary, a 5% administration fee of your total bill will be charged.
We cannot offer refunds or compensation for items purchased a few days before they go on sale.
