Printable Quilt Block Coloring Pages – Free Download for Quilters

by

There’s just something so satisfying about quilt blocks, isn’t there? All those geometric shapes, satisfying symmetry, and endless layout options – it’s no wonder so many of us fall in love with quilting for life. But what if I told you that you don’t even need a needle and thread to enjoy the beauty of quilting today?

I’ve created a free set of printable quilt coloring pages that bring the joy of quilting to your colored pencils and markers. These quilter-themed coloring sheets are perfect for winding down with a cuppa, dreaming up your next fabric palette, or simply indulging your creative side without hauling out the sewing machine.

Whether you’re coloring in for relaxation or testing out color theory for your next bed-sized masterpiece, these free printable quilt coloring designs are just what your creative heart needs.

Why Quilters Love Coloring

Coloring is more than a childhood pastime—it’s a proven way to reduce stress, spark creativity, and help with visual planning. And for quilters? It’s a low-mess way to play with quilt color layouts before ever cutting into your stash. Think of it as a digital-free design wall you can take anywhere (yes, even the doctor’s waiting room or that long car ride to visit the in-laws).

Learn about Vikings for Leif Erikson Day

Leif Erikson Day is celebrated on Oct. 9, and it’s a great time to learn more about the Vikings and why we still remember Erikson all these years later. 

If you don’t know about Leif Erikson (sometimes spelled Eriksson), he’s believed to have been born in Iceland, and is considered the first European to set foot on continental America, more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus. 

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a printable mini book about Leif Erikson and the Vikings for kids to read and color. It talks about who the Vikings were, what kind of ships they used, how they got to America and more. It’s a good overview for younger kids to use. 

A good unit study is available from Simple Living Creative Learning, which includes a page where kids can write what they know, what they want to learn and what they learned through the unit, as well as information on the Vikings, longships, helmets, clothing and more. 

Get a printable Viking unit study with reading passages, comprehension questions and other activities aimed at grades 4-8 from Creative Classroom Core at Teachers Pay Teachers. (And see more Vikings content from TPT here.)

Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus has some great unit study ideas, too, including suggested books and videos. The post includes information about the Viking voyages, society, mythology and ships, as well as some vocabulary and a list of famous Vikings. While you’re over there also check out her free printable lapbook, which includes mini books on ships, a timeline, a Viking women coloring page, draw your own Vikings, geography, ancient runes and more. 

Piqolo Kids has a lesson on Viking women with (available for purchase) worksheets about a day in the life of Viking women. Even if you don’t grab the printables there’s some good resources on that page and a link to a video on Viking women. 

Learn how to draw a Viking ship with instructions from Drawing How to Draw, or grab Vikings coloring and labeling worksheets from Kids Puzzles and Games.

There’s a Leif Erikson Festival annually in Norway, Michigan, which you can learn more about here.
