Birthstone August Peridot - Birthstone Series

August Birthstone Quilt Block Pattern, Peridot from the Birthstone Quilt Block Series by MJ Kinman.

This is a paper pattern that includes the foundation pieces. This is not a PDF.

This freezer paper piecing Block pattern for 17 in. square block represents the August birthstone Peridot.

The pattern includes the following a fully-coded freezer paper template; full-scale paper copy to use as a key; and a 12-page pattern booklet that includes:

  • fabric requirements

  • detailed instructions for block construction, and instructions and fabric requirements for optional projects (i.e., 18 in square pillow, 4-block wall-hanging, 12-block full-size quilt as shown on pattern cover)

  • quilting suggestions


Single-foundation piecing is not typical paper piecing: templates are ironed to the RIGHT side, so there is no confusing reverse piecing; templates are easily removed and REUSABLE, so there are no paper bits to pull from the back of the quilt; reduces fabric waste since there is no flip-and-sew method used.

Makes wonderful Block of the Month project, Mother's Day quilt (featuring the family's birthstones), baby quilt (featuring Baby's birthstone), or Guild group challenge project.

A video of MJ demonstrating the techniques. HERE.

Pattern is stored in a zipped plastic bag for protection.
