Good Morning Throw Quilt - the Americana One!

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


Today is a Good Morning!  This is a brand-new quilt pattern that includes all the sizes, is strip pieced, and precut friendly!  Yay!

If you're looking for a quick and easy quilt pattern with visual pop, this is it!  The Americana version looks like a flag waving in the wind.

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


Quick - Easy - Fun!


The Good Morning quilt pattern is fun and quick to make.  Ask me how I know!  Yep, I ended up making four of them because they are so easy, and I kept thinking of color schemes that would look great.  I finally had to tell myself to STOP, because I could have just kept right on dreaming and scheming and making.  Seriously!

You know how much I love strip piecing while quilting; it speeds up the process so much.  This quilt pattern includes strip piecing.  There aren't any seams to match either - another bonus to help make the quilt go together so quickly. 

This is a great newbie beginner quilt because there aren't any seams to match.  If you have a quilt or two under your belt, this would be a great pattern to try next.   


Red, White and Blue!


This Americana version is made from scraps leftover from my Star Spangled quilt, check it out right here.  Lots of navy and red prints with white on them, on a Kona Nautical background, representing many designers and fabric companies.  Scrappy indeed!

A bundle of these fabrics is available on Etsy right here.

The backing is an indigo dot fabric by Riley Blake, and the binding is Kona Solids Nautical.






Longarm Quilting


The waving flag and stars longarm quilting design is Americana 2018, completed on my HandiQuilter Fusion with Pro-Stitcher in navy thread.


Precuts or Yardage Options


The Good Morning quilt pattern includes two fabric options - jelly roll strips for a scrappy look, as this quilt is; or yardage of five fabrics.  

The Good Morning quilt pattern also looks great as an ombre design, with five hues in a single colorway.  I have one of those to show you in a different post.  

The five fabrics don't have to be the same colorway either.  Pink, peach, yellow with a pop of apple green look great mocked up together.  A rainbow design would also be simple to make.  



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

Skip To My Lou Baby Quilt in Violet Craft Modern Classics!

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


Today I'm sharing a bright and happy rainbow Skip to My Lou in the Baby size!  




Precut Friendly Quilt Pattern


Skip to My Lou is a precut friendly quilt pattern - you can use charm packs or layer cake squares, or of course scraps from your stash would work just as easily.  Just cut the number of squares in the size indicated in the quilt pattern. 

After you've selected your print squares, choose two solid fabrics that set off the squares.  This quilt is made with Kona White as the background and Kona Charcoal as the accent fabric that creates the design.



Beautiful Rainbow Fabrics!


This quilt is made with a charm pack of Violet Craft Modern Classics, available right here.  Check out the modern subtle prints in white on the bright colors!  The colors are arranged in rainbow order as much as possible, placing the lighter gray prints from the collection in the middle of the quilts, with the  medium and dark grays and the black print placed in the four diagonal rows that branch out from the center, for a radiating effect.



A Peek at the Backing!


The backing in this quilt is a print I've been hoarding for a LONG time.  It's a flannel print of a leaf shape in a rainbow of colors.  Just so bright, fun, and happy, and perfect for the backing on a baby quilt!




Longarm Quilting


The longarm quilting is a meandering heart design in white thread, completed on my HandiQuilter Fusion with ProStitcher.  Such a sweet design for a sweet baby!



All the Quilt Sizes!


Skip to My Lou includes all of the quilt sizes - Baby, Throw, Twin, Queen, and King - for true value for you.  You'll love this feature in my quilt patterns.  :)



Oh That Binding!


Ready to be chewed and spit upon, the double fold binding is a teal print from the Violet Craft Modern Classics fabric collection, available right here.  It will get a lot of use in the quilt, that's for sure.  I've attached it entirely by machine for a quick, sturdy finish.
