Patchwork Quilt Lettering Style Tutorial

Patchwork Quilt Lettering Style Tutorial. Follow along with the step-by-step tutorial for how I create this cute patchwork quilt lettering!

Patchwork Quilt Lettering Style Tutorial

I first shared work in this lettering style on my Instagram during the holidays. I had so much fun with it that I’ve since created several pieces using the same techniques and aesthetics.

Now, I’m teaching you exactly how I do it in a short and sweet Procreate Video Tutorial.

Note: This video isn’t quite as detailed or long as some of my others, largely because I’m using methods I’ve already taught you in past Procreate Video Tutorials. While I will walk you through the main steps, I’m focusing on the tips and tricks that will help you create this style more quickly and consistently.

The basic steps

1. Draw your lettering in a basic block sans serif style. I use a combo of drawing assist and The Letter + Grid Builder Bundle for this step.
2. Tap layer and select “Alpha Lock.” Color in the letters using a color block style. I usually change colors for every letter stroke.
3. Add a new layer above your lettering. Tap the layer and select “clipping mask.” Using a dark teal and the Speckled Shader brush (from The Texture Kit), outline each section of color.
4. Use a variety of doodles on a new layer on each color block. I mainly use Stamps from The Creativity Kit for this step and the DND Felt Fineliner brush for the straight and curly lines.
5. Optional: On another new layer, add a variety of hearts, dots, etc. in between the letters to fill the space.

The video lesson is a bit over 11-minutes long.

Friendly Note: I hope that you’ll use my lettering work and tutorial to inspire your own artwork. Please remember, there’s a fine line between being inspired by someone else’s work and being a copycat, so be sure to create something original and give inspiration credit where credit is due. 💖
