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.

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.

Southwest Sunshine – A new modern quilt pattern

I’m excited to share all about the new Southwest Sunshine quilt pattern today!

Southwest Sunshine quilt pattern

Southwest Sunshine is a bright and happy fat quarter friendly quilt pattern. This pattern was designed specifically with the gorgeous new At Then Came June Kona Cotton bundles. My friend Meghan of At Then Came June is a color mixing genius so I’m so thrilled for her to have her very own Kona bundle! It sure was a fun and colorful one to sew up!

The bundles are shipping to stores now. I used all 20 of the colors in the bundle for this large throw size quilt

All the quilt sizes

The Southwest Sunshine quilt pattern includes instructions for all of the quilt sizes! I have have you covered from crib to king sizes.

It includes crib size, throw size, large throw size, twin size, queen size and king size.

Precut and yardage friendly

Southwest Sunshine is designed around fat quarters or 1/4 yards. The quilt pattern includes cutting instructions for fat quarters, 1/4 yards or even 1/2 yards.

I can never resist taking photos during the mix and match stage. They look so pretty all cut and mixed like this. This quilt pattern is one of my favorite kinds to design… the mix and match!

I made the large throw size from the quilt pattern. It’s very generous in size! I really love large quilts so that’s what I tend to make. The pattern does include a smaller throw size though.

Southwest Sunshine uses an accent color for the diamonds through out. This accent color pulls the whole quilt together into one cohesive design. Choose an accent color from the fabrics of the blocks or another one all together.

I used the kona color Gumdrop as my accent and binding. It’s one of my favorite kona colors right now. Who knew I would love a purple so much!?

This quilt was quilted by Knot and Thread Design.

Southwest Sunshine is a big block based quilt pattern. It creates this pretty secondary plus pattern as it goes together. The quilt pattern includes pressing instructions to nest those seams and help them line up better. Even the diamonds are nested so they come out perfectly.

I also made the crib size version of this pattern up in prints from my stash. I’ll share that in a separate blog post.

You can grab your copy of Southwest Sunshine in the pattern shop.

Materials Used:
Kona Cotton At Then Came June solids bundle
Background: Kona Snow
Accent and Binding: Kona Gumdrop
Backing: Carolyn Friedlander Wideback

Pieced on a Janome MC6700p

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.
