Grandpa's Barn Quilt in Rose by Jo Morton for Moda Fabrics!

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


Today I'm sharing a Grandpa's Barn quilt in Rose by Jo Morton for Moda Fabrics.  This is a lovely blend of brick red, tans, brown, with a splash of delft blue.  You'll find the Rose collection right here.

The Grandpa's Barn quilt pattern includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - and is 2-1/2" strip friendly, so it's super easy to use your fabric stash.  To make it quick and easy, the pattern uses strip piecing.

The Grandpa's Barn quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.





We have a number of imperfect Grandpa's Barn printed quilt patterns available for a reduced price. The top gray bar on the pattern cover isn't perfect, and that is the only thing wrong with the pattern.

Grandpa's Barn Quilted Wall Hanging in Lauren!

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


Today I'm sharing a Grandpa's Barn quilt in the Baby size, but I'll call it the Wall Hanging size since it's not made with fabrics suited for a baby!



I recently finished a batch of small quilts to be displayed in my local quilt shop, Tangled Threads.  This is one of the quilts.



Those Pretty Fabrics!


My Grandpa's Barn quilt pattern was selected to highlight a really pretty fabric collection called Lauren.  The collection includes mauves, greens, browns, and tans in florals, paisleys, and tone-on-tones.  The Lauren jelly roll is available right here.  The background fabric is an ivory tone-on-tone from my stash.




The Grandpa's Barn Quilt Pattern


Grandpa's Barn includes some great features:
  • Precut friendly - jelly roll strips welcome!
  • All the sizes - 5 in all - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.
  • Strip piecing
  • Lots of diagrams and text so it's very understandable




Longarm Quilting


This Grandpa's Barn quilt was quilted with Feathered Roses, a digital design, on my HandiQuilter Fusion with ProStitcher in tan thread. The quilting is a bit darker than the background fabric so it really stands out across the quilt top.

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


Grandpa's Barn has been kitted in the Jacqueline fabric collection by Connecting Threads!  This is the Twin size.



Jelly Roll Friendly - or use your stash!


Grandpa's Barn is a 2-1/2" strip jelly roll friendly quilt pattern that is entirely strip pieced for a quick finish.  The quilt kit includes yardage, however, as there were a number of light prints in the collection that needed left out to let the design shine through.  This is the entire collection which you will find right here.


Nested Seams ♥


Pressing directions are included in the pattern so that all seams nest together, a feature I love to include in my patterns.  ✅


This quilt kit is for the Twin size.  The quilt pattern available at Connecting Threads includes only the Twin size, and the quilt pattern available on my website includes all of the quilt sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.


I've made two Grandpa's Barn quilts in the past.  This one is the twin size in Handmade by Bonnie and Camille, one of my favorite fabric collections ever.  


This is the Throw size in Ombre Bloom!  Love those quilted hearts.  ♥

Grandpa's Barn - a New Quilt Pattern in 5 Sizes!

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



Grandpa's Barn, where ol' fashioned meets today's modern fabrics for a stunning quilt!  Both jelly rolls or scraps are perfect for Grandpa's Barn which is a strip pieced pattern that goes together very quickly.  The pattern includes pressing instructions so every seam in the quilt nests, my favorite!


Grandpa's Barn includes 5 sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  The center square design ends up in different places on the sizes.  It's most often found off-center, but is in the center for the baby quilt.


I say, yes please! to a striped binding any day, especially when it's printed so it ends up diagonal on the binding.  I used the green, red, pink, aqua, and teal stripes in the binding and put only two stripes in the quilt - the black/white and the red/pink.

And Handmade?  It is my favorite Bonnie and Camille collection to date, and I'm all out of jelly rolls after making this quilt.

I made a queen size Castle Dreams quilt in Handmade which is at my parents' winter home in Arizona.  You can see that right here.  


Quilt Stats:

Pattern:  Grandpa's Barn, available right here or below.
Size:  Approx 70" x 90", twin size
Fabric:  Handmade by Bonnie and Camille with Moda Cross weave in black.
Batting:  Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton poly
Quilting:  Woven Wind on Gratitude in medium gray Superior Omni thread.

Grandpa's Barn is available at an introductory price through Monday in my shop right here!

I have a second version to show you in ombre fabrics in a day or two!
