Grab those orange, gold, green, and brown scraps hiding in your stash. These free fall appliqué patterns include pumpkins, leaves, apples, and owls that you can add to pillows, wall hangings, coasters, pincushions, and other quick fall sewing projects.
Free Fall Appliqué Patterns
Fall sewing doesn’t have to mean starting another full-size quilt.
Sometimes you just want a little project. Something you can finish before the season is actually over. Imagine that.
That’s where appliqué comes in.
A simple pumpkin, leaf, apple, or owl can turn a plain piece of fabric into something completely different—and you probably already have the scraps you need sitting in your sewing room.
These fall appliqué patterns are perfect for adding a little seasonal fun to pillows, mug rugs, wall hangings, pincushions, and other small projects. The collection includes everything from my scrappy owl projects to maple leaves, pumpkins, and apples.

This free (YES, FREE!) pumpkin applique pdf will have you stitching some pumpkins in no time. The pdf says to add to a tea towel, but you could definitely add this applique to a quilt, a jacket, or anything else.
Autumn Leaves Applique
Autumn leaves is the theme for next few appliqués, starting with this double leaf design. Get creative with colors on this one!
Our favorite ways to use these are felt and raw edge appliqué. We like to use them for appliqué quilt patterns, placemats, potholders, wall hangings, pillows, tote bags, and more. Anywhere you might use a decorative quilt block, use an appliqué design instead!
These fall leaves would look lovely adorning an autumn wreath, or perhaps around a candle mat.
Scrappy Pumpkins
These scrappy pumpkins are great for using some of your orange and fall stash. Using fusible to keep them in place, it’s a super quick project.
Acorn Ornaments
How cute are these acorns! Such a simple design, and if you aren’t into the ornaments – use the shape and design for applique.
Wool Felt Pumpkin
This Wool Pumpkin Applique banner is a pretty quick project and can mostly be done on the go, making it perfect for soaking up the last warmth of summer while still getting ahead of the coming season!
