Simple Shack Quilt Block

April 7, 2025 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Our newest FPP block, Simple Shack is an easy-to-make foundation paper piecing design is perfect for quilters of all skill levels. Featuring five different sizes and a colouring sheet, it’s great for experimenting with your favorite colorful scraps or subtle low-volume prints. Whether you go bold and vibrant or prefer soft, cozy shades, the choice is yours! House blocks are universally popular and are fun to incorporate into a wide range of projects.

In this set of Simple Shacks, I used pastel fabrics in different colours and then used the same background, roof, and door to give them a cohesive look. I used a sweet print with gold stars for the windows to depict the light shining within our homes. These blocks are so much fun to make. Little houses can be grouped together to create a streetscape. Add some FPP Trees to complete the scene.

The Simple Shack comes in 5 sizes – 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches. It is ideal for including in projects such as quilts, mini quilts, table runners, pouches, bags, pillows and more. What will you use your Simple Shacks for?

This pattern is a beginner friendly foundation paper piecing pattern. It can be quickly and easily assembled. The pattern includes a general guide to sewing foundation paper pieced blocks, as well as my top tips for a professional result.

You can find the Simple Shack FPP Quilt Block Pattern in my Pattern Store and Etsy Shop for immediate download. Add a touch of home to your next project!
