Plus and Minus Baby quilt – The Sassafras Lane one

Today is my stop on the Good Vibes only fabric blog tour for Sassafras Lane! I sewed up a Plus and Minus baby quilt.

Sassafras Lane is know for their bright rainbow hued fabric lines and fun designs. Their new line Good Vibes only will be showing up in quilt shops any time now!

This brand new line for Windham Fabrics is perfect stash fabric. The tone on tone designs leave these feeling like nice blenders. And of course, it has the full range of colors.

For my Good Vibes Only project I choose just a few of the more toned down colors and made a baby size Plus and Minus quilt.

The blues and greens in this fabric line are so pretty! I’m a big fan of the hand drawn designs.

The baby size Plus and Minus quilt only needs a few fat quarters and goes together quickly. I finished this off with a low volume print from the Good Vibes only line as the backing and a pop of yellow for the binding. It’s quilted on my Janome MC6700p using my favorite curvy stitching.

These Good Vibes Only fabrics made for the cutest gender neutral baby quilt.

You can find the Good Vibes only fabric here.

The Plus and Minus quilt pattern is in the Quilty Love shop.

Thank you Sassafras for letting me jump in the Good Vibes Only blog tour! Be sure to follow the rest of the tour below!

Hexie Pop quilt pattern-A modern Hexie quilt pattern

The Hexie pop quilt pattern is a new modern hexie quilt that I’m so excited to share! It’s available in the shop today.

Hexie Pop Quilt Pattern

Hexie Pop is a fast and easy yardage quilt pattern. This one was sketched up a while ago but never made. It was revisited recently and as soon as I plugged in these brand new Spark basics by Ruby Star Society I had to make it up.

Spark is hitting stores in July! Such a beautiful basics fabric. I decided to make two quilts with these fabrics. One in the cool tones and one in the warm tones.

Half hexie quilt

Hexie Pop is a half hexie quilt which means it uses traditional piecing. No Y seams for this one!

Ruler recommendations

I recommend this hexie ruler or the HexNmore ruler. You can even use a 8.5in triangle ruler like this one. A template is provided but rulers really are much easier to use.

Half Hexie ruler | HexNmore | 8.5in Triangle ruler

I used the HexNmore ruler because I like the easy cut corners it provides. Makes piecing angles so so easy! You can see those corners in the cut out hexies below

Yardage quilt pattern

The Hexie Pop quilt pattern is a yardage quilt. There are a couple of variations. Make it with just three different fabrics or make each row a different print. The quilt pattern includes instructions for both options

Hexie Pop quilt size

Hexie Pop includes all of the quilt sizes! It includes instructions for a baby, throw, twin, queen and king size! So far I’ve made up four different throw sizes. I can’t wait to try the baby size!

Fast and easy quilt pattern

Hexie Pop really does go together nice and fast! I was able to make up an entire throw size top in just a day. If you follow the pressing instructions it’s super slick and no pins are needed :) The seams will all nest together if you follow those instructions.

These two quilts were quilted up by Kaitlyn of Knot and Thread. I let her choose which designs to use and they turned out so fun!

As I’ve mentioned already, I’ve made quite a few of these fun hexie quilts ;) I’ll be blog these two below soon! It turned out so pretty in the VandCo Ombres.

Materials Used:
Hexie Pop quilt pattern
Spark by Ruby Star Society
Background: Grid by Ruby Star Society
Hexie ruler: HexNmore
Pieced on a Janome MC6700p
Quilted by Knot and Thread

Compass Star Quilt Pattern-The Alison Glass one

Today I’m sharing another Compass Star quilt with you all! This is one of my favorite quilts to photograph! The vibrant colors of this Road Trip fabric made for the prettiest quilt.

The Compass Star quilt pattern is available in the Quilty Love shop.

Alison Glass sent over some of this gorgeous Road Trip fabric around the time I was designing this Compass Star quilt pattern. So I promptly cut into it and sewed up a throw size quilt.

This star quilt is a mix and match fat quarter quilt so this fabric bundle worked perfectly for that. I love making mix and match fat quarter quilts like this because it’s a fun way to include a lot of different fabrics. I’m convinced Compass Star will work great with just about any fat quarter bundle. Here is the original done up in solids.

Compass Star Quilt Pattern

Compass Star is a block based quilt pattern good for the beginner or the novice.

This star quilt pattern includes 5 different sizes! Make it in baby size, throw sizes, twin size, queen size or king size. Refer to the shop listing photos for fabric requirements

So far, I have made two different throw sizes. I’m itching to make up a cute little baby size quilt too.

I set this vibrant fabric on a white background so it really pops. The white is Kona cotton in the color snow.

This Road Trip Compass Star quilt is backed in a fun metallic dot fabric by Riley Blake. The metallic dots keep it exciting but toned down compared to the super bright front.

The binding on this star quilt is a simple stripe from the Road Trip fabric line. It’s called Happy Union Jack. I always love a good striped binding!

Quilting on this throw size quilt was done by Kaitlyn of Knot and Thread Design. I kept it simple and modern with this wavy quilting design. I’m pretty sure this quilting design would look good on any quilt.

Grab a copy of Compass Star in the shop.

Materials used:
Road Trip fabric bundle
Kona cotton in snow
Backing: Riley Blake Metallic Dot
Pieced on a Janome MC6700p

Home Run Quilt – A baseball quilt pattern

The Home Run quilt pattern is finally available! This baseball quilt is perfect for all of the baseball fans in your life.

Home Run is a couple of years in the making. My husband actually designed this baseball quilt pattern and has been begging me to make it for him for years.

I finally appeased him this year and sewed it up. I do have to admit that it is kind of fun and I can see how baseball fans are going to love this quilt.

Matt’s original idea for this quilt was to have one baseball diamond for each of the 30 professional baseball teams. The baseball diamonds are arranged by division so they are in some kind of specific order.

Two baseball quilt versions

My spin on it was to make it a one team quilt so quilters can sew it up in their favorite team colors. The pattern includes both versions.

Sew up the single team baseball quilt in favorite professional team colors or even your local team colors. For example, your son or daughter’s high school team colors or your granddaughter or grandson’s league colors.

Single Team baseball quilt pattern

The Home Run quilt actually sews up pretty fast. It’s an easy quilt pattern to make, especially the single team version. The single team baseball quilt pattern is made up of just three colors plus your sashing color.

At 60in x 73in it’s a nice generous throw size baseball quilt. You can always size up or down by adding or omitting blocks.

Blocks are trimmed to size making the assembly of the quilt top easy and accurate.

My Home Run single team baseball quilt is made up in the Seattle Mariner’s colors. There are quite a few Mariner’s fans in my house. My eleven year old claimed this quilt when he saw me making it. He’s pretty excited to have his own baseball quilt.

I quilted this baseball quilt with a grid pattern. It’s just one inch straight lines going both vertically and horizontally. I used my Janome MC6700p to piece and quilt.

The Robert Kaufman Kona colors used for this quilt are Emerald, Navy, Silver and Ash.

The backing is a Riley Blake wideback in plaid.

Of course we had to include our newest Mariner fan in a few photos.

Find the specific solids for your favorite team in the pattern listing.

30 Team baseball quilt pattern

The 30 team baseball quilt includes one baseball diamond block from each of the 30 MLB teams.

The blocks are then arranged by division. I don’t know much about baseball but this makes sense to my husband and hopefully other baseball fans..ha.

You can arrange your own 30 team Home Run quilt as shown or in a random layout dispersing the colors

I used all Kona Cotton Solids for this baseball quilt. Solids needed for the 30 team version are:
White
Mulberry
Silver
Tan
Poppy
Water
Goldfish
Black
Royal
Coral
Navy
Emerald
Ash
Canary
Leprechaun

My husband is finally getting a quilt and hes pretty thrilled about it. Its even his own design!

This is the perfect husband quilt for those of you quilters who have husbands waiting for their quilts ;) It only took me 6+ years to make one for Matt…ha.

This baseball quilt was quilted by Knot and Thread. I picked out this baseball quilting design.

This 30 team Home Run baseball quilt is backed in a super soft linen by Robert Kaufman. I liked the grid pattern and thought it went well with the busy quilt top.

There are plenty of MLB fabrics available as quilt backs too! You will find just about every team here.

Find Home Run in the Quilty Love shop. I can’t wait to see your favorite team quilts start popping up! Use the hashtag #HomeRunQuilt on Instagram and tag me :)
