The Vintage Tiles Quilt by Lou Orth Designs is a beautiful modern quilt pattern inspired by the timeless elegance of decorative vintage tiles.
Featuring bold geometric motifs, colourful star centres and repeating patchwork blocks, Vintage Tiles combines traditional quilting techniques with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.
Each block showcases a different feature fabric surrounded by coordinating star and echo details, creating a striking design that beautifully highlights your favourite prints and colour combinations.
Using Half-Square Triangles (HST), Flying Geese and traditional patchwork construction, this pattern offers a rewarding project for quilters who enjoy precise piecing and detailed block assembly.
With three finished sizes — Baby, Lap and Bed — Vintage Tiles is perfect for a colourful nursery quilt, a beautiful handmade throw or a statement bed quilt.
The pattern is also Fat Quarter friendly, allowing you to showcase a selection of coordinating fabrics or experiment with bold contrasting prints. Each finished block measures 20" × 20", making it possible to create a matching decorative cushion using a single block.

We’ve recently updated our shipping options to give you more flexibility and competitive rates. At checkout, you can now choose from multiple carriers — including Canada Post, ICS Courrier, Canpar, Purolator, FedEx, UPS, and more.
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.
Other Provinces in Canada, USA, and International Shipping
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.
Import Duties & Customs Fees (USA & International Orders)
All orders shipped outside of Canada — including to the United States — may be subject to import duties, customs fees, taxes and other charges assessed by the destination country’s customs authorities. 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.
