Hampton Court Quilt Along Week Four - Finishing Our Quilts!

Welcome to Week Four of the Hampton Court Quilt Along!  All QAL information is posted in the newsletter, and participants link up their progress here on the blog.

Get the Hampton Court quilt pattern in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

My quilt top just came off the longarm and is still hanging on the rails, waiting to be bound.  This black and white Hampton Court was quilted with a digital design called Crystal Ball in black thread.  I chose black thread rather than white thread since the majority of the quilt top is black.  The binding will likely be a scrappy mix of black/white prints.

Hampton Court includes 4 sizes - Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - and is scrap and yardage friendly. This is a strip pieced quilt pattern, so you won't be sewing together individual bricks unless you really want to. Instructions include both strip piecing and traditional piecing.

Hampton Court is based in King Henry VIII's castle, Hampton Court, from the 1500s. The design with varying brick sizes can be found on the exterior of the castle.

Granny's Square Patch Quilt Pattern - Use Scraps or Just Three Fabrics!

Granny's Square Patch is back in the shop, and I'm happy to have her home!!

Granny's Square Patch is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

After being licensed to Connecting Threads for a few years, Granny's Square Patch is happy to be home!  I have updated and fine-tuned the pattern, and it's available in the shop right here.

This is the version that Connecting Threads sold in Maison Rouge.

Granny's Square Patch includes 6 sizes - Baby, Lap, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - and uses strip pieced to speed up the process.  

Granny's Square Patch looks amazing as a scrappy quilt or with as few as three colors.  Borders can be left off for a different look also.  This is the scrappy version below with a single border. 

This is a three-color version - orange, brown, white with a single border.  This quilt is aptly named Rootbeer Float.  I know you don't see the mistake I made when I left the sashing off the corners.  :)

Modern met old-fashioned when Tula Pink fabrics met Granny's Square Patch!  This quilt has two borders - white and a print from the collection.  The 9-patch blocks are made with a single fabric and the square blocks are made with a variety of stripes and polka dots.  There are so many options with this pattern!

Shannon of The Flemings Nine has made this quilt multiple times as custom orders and to use a special feature print from her stash.  These are all three-color quilts.

And last but not least is a turquoise version I made that featured white/black animal prints as the background.

As you can see, Granny's Square Patch is a great pattern to have on hand to use scraps or even as few as three fabrics!  If you have a fabric you just don't know what to do with, this might be the perfect pattern for it.
