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!

Plus and Minus quilt pattern-The bright solids one

I’m excited to share this fun and colorful Plus and Minus quilt today! Plus and Minus has been revised to include this new version of the quilt. You can find the quilt pattern in the Quilty Love shop.

Plus and Minus quilt pattern by Emily of quiltylove.com. Modern plus quilt.

This Plus and Minus quilt is made up using the new At Then Came June Kona Cotton bundle. These solid fabrics are so bright and happy. It sure was fun sewing up this plus quilt in these gorgeous solids.

Plus and Minus was released a while back but recently got an update. The original version had more white space in it. I made up this quilt while designing the quilt since I couldn’t decide which way to go with it. Since then there have been many requests for this more fabric focused version so the pattern now includes all the sizes of both.

Beginner friendly quilt pattern

The Plus and Minus quilt pattern is a beginner friendly quilt pattern. It’s a fun one that goes together quickly. The quilt pattern includes instructions for pressing so those seams all nest nicely. Nesting seams usually means a faster finish since less pins can be used.

2 Versions included

The quilt pattern now includes two different versions of this plus quilt. This solids quilt is Version One. You can see Version two here.

All the quilt sizes

Plus and Minus includes instructions for a crib size, throw size, queen size and king size quilt

Precut or stash friendly quilt

This modern plus quilt is written around fat quarters. The pattern also includes cutting instructions for 1/4 yards and fat eighths. It’s actually a good stash quilt since you can use a smaller cut of fabric for each block.

I quilted this bright and colorful Plus and Minus quilt using my favorite wavy stitch on the Janome MC6700p. I’ve been using this stitch quite a bit lately because it seems to work on every quilt and looks way harder than it is!

I have a tutorial for zig zag quilting with a walking foot here. This is the same technique but just uses a different stitch.

It’s nearly impossible to photograph quilts these days without adding a cute little baby on it ;) She loves all of the attention she gets when she is my quilt model so it’s a win win.

This Plus and Minus quilt is backed in a pretty metallic polka dot fabric by Robert Kaufman.

The binding is Kona Cotton in the color curry.

You can grab this quick and easy plus quilt pattern in the Quiltylove shop.

Materials Used:
Kona Cotton At Then Came June bundle
Background: Kona Snow
Backing: Robert Kaufman Metallic Dot
Binding: Kona Curry

Blueberry Park Plus and Minus Quilt – Easy plus quilt

I have another Plus and Minus quilt to share today: The Blueberry Park Plus and Minus Quilt. I used this quilt in the 10 photos to take of your quilts post but thought it deserved it’s own blog post.
