Today I’m sharing a fun and scrap-friendly sewing project: a postage stamp quilted pear made from tiny fabric squares. This is a great way to use up your favorite 1.5-inch scraps, which are sewn into 1-inch finished squares to create a classic postage stamp quilt panel. Using a simple pear template, the panel is cut and stitched into a dimensional pear for a unique and eye-catching finish.
For my pear, I used some of my favorite red, white, and blue Tim Holtz fabric scraps, which give it a classic patriotic feel. That said, this design would be just as beautiful in any color palette you love, making it a perfect scrap-buster project for whatever fabrics you have on hand.
In addition to the quilted pear, I’ve also included a complimentary cross-stitch tag design to coordinate with the project. The tag can be finished as shown or adapted as a label or project bag accent.
You’ll find the full video tutorial below. Links to download both free PDF templates for the quilted pear and the coordinating tag can be found in the sidebar here on my blog.
I hope you enjoy creating your own postage stamp quilted pear! Happy stitching!

Love the pear. I am not a quilter but the pear has inspired me to give it a try.

I have been making pears like a person possessed. Thank you for the adorable and easy pear. I have been making two dimensional as well as three dimensional stuffed pears.
