      Sunnyside Baby Quilt Kit in Play on Tonals!

      This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!


      I am excited to share that Connecting Threads has kitted the Sunnyside quilt pattern in the Baby size in their beautiful fabric collection called Play on Tonals.  This quilt kit includes all the fabric for the quilt top and binding, along with a printed quilt pattern so that you can create your very own Baby Sunnyside quilt!


      Sunnyside is a quick and easy, Fat Quarter friendly design that includes six sizes - Baby, Throw, Large Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  Sunnyside is named after a town near where I grew up, and the quilt is reminiscent of both sunshine and gray skies.  I love the yellow and gray contrast in this quilt!  It's so bright and cheery!



      Sunnyside Pattern Clarification


      All references in the pattern to dark gray or light gray are strictly referring to the color of the diagrams; they are not referring to the Yellow or Gray fabrics, or the color of the fabrics you're using.  

      To make a Yellow/Gray quilt, label Yellow FQs as Color 1, and label Gray FQs as Color 2.

      If you're using colors other than Yellow and Gray, choose the color you want to appear as a full star in the upper left corner of the quilt top, and label it Color 1.  Then label the remaining color, Color 2.

      In diagrams, Color 1 is dark gray, Color 2 is light gray, and the Background is white.




      The Sunnyside quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

      I am very excited to share with you Hampton Court, one of my favorite quick and easy quilt designs!  The Hampton Court quilt pattern includes 4 sizes - Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  This quilt has two piecing methods included - strip piecing and traditional piecing.  With strip piecing, you will not be sewing individual bricks together, making for a much faster quilt top assembly.

      Hampton Court has been kitted in the Throw size by Connecting Threads in their fabric collection, Lady Eliza.  This kit includes a pattern plus fabric for the quilt top and binding.  Backing fabric and batting are not included.

      The Hampton Court design is based on King Henry VIII's castle from the 1500s; this design is found in the brickwork.  Simple shapes can be made to look exotic as shown in this throw.
