Use solids or prints

I used my leftover At Then Came June Kona bundles for two Quilty Stars baby quilts. I separated the colors out into two different versions. This baby size doesn’t need a lot of fabric so it was great for these leftover pieces.

Beginner friendly quilt pattern

Quilty Stars is a good beginner friendly quilt pattern. The measurements leave plenty of room for trimming up perfectly sized half square triangles. The trimmings of these two solid quilts were too pretty not to photograph :)

The original Quilty Stars Quilt is made up using prints from my scrap bins so I wanted to see how this quilt might look in solids. It turned out so fun in these range of colors. Each quilt sticks with two colorways to keep it a bit more cohesive.

All the quilt sizes

The Quilty Stars quilt pattern includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and king size. It also includes instructions for a solid background like these quilts or a super scrappy background.

Since I quilted these baby quilts myself I went with my favorite wavy stitch pattern. It’s simple, easy and so forgiving. Plus, look at that texture!

I have a similar tutorial for this kind of quilting here. Swap out the multi stitch zig zag setting for the wavy stitch on your machine.

Our little babes is already 6 months old! I brought her outside for a fun photo shoot with these two new baby quilts.

Make Quilty Stars for your next quick and easy baby quilt! Use up that stash of scraps or fat quarters for this fun scrappy star quilt

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.

Stained Glass Windows Quilt – The solids baby one

Stained Glass Windows quilt pattern.

I’ve been wanting to make another Stained Glass Windows quilt since I only made the one for the pattern. Usually I make at least two quilts when I publish a new pattern.

Lately I really love sewing with solids. Solids seem to freshen up any quilt pattern. This Stained Glass Windows quilt is a baby size made with Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton Solids.

This baby size quilt is the only thing I made at a retreat with friends in Arizona last October. Lets just say I wasn’t very productive there ;)

Stained Glass Windows is a fat quarter or fat eighth friendly quilt pattern. The pattern includes instructions for this baby size, a throw size and a queen size.

I used a black Riley Blake swiss dot for the background of this version and Kona white as the accent.

The backing is a pretty floral by Rifle Paper Company for Cotton and Steel.

This baby sized Stained Glass Windows quilt is finished off with a white binding to keep it soft and fresh. I love white bindings! I used to be scared of them but now I don’t worry about them getting dirty. They wash up just as well as the quilt itself.
