Baseball themed quilt pattern
#11
I just made a Warm Wishes pattern for a baby due soon. I did the main block with bears playing baseball (different poses) and used red, white & blue for the 3 strips. It turned out very cute. You could any other fabric as the focus block. I will try to get DH to post a picture later. I bought several really cute baseball fabrics from equilter.com.

I am in the process of making my 6yr old GS a "sports quilt"...no kidding, that's what HE called it...so I just cut some 7.5 squares of everything sports-related I had in my stash (included baseball, football and soccer) and then backed it with some football helmet material. His Mama likes it so I guess I'm home safe with it...

My youngest grandson loves baseball and he plays violin. My oldest is a brainiac and loves knowledge of any kind. I had so much fun buying fabric for both of them.
Somebody on this board suggested 'Warm Wishes' pattern and I'm going to use that one for the youngest. Not sure about what pattern I'll use for the oldest yet. I'm also going to include some pictures of them, too. It's going to be a blast making these quilts.

Here's the picture of the pattern I have in a magazine. This makes a quilt that is 71 x 82. The magazine it appears in is The Quilter, July 2004.
I'm willing to take the pattern out of the magazine but I do want to keep the rest of the magazine.

That quilt that JenniePenny posted is really cute. But if you want something simpler, how about this with baseball fabric? I didn't make this one--just saved the picture for future reference for MY grandsons.

What fun ! It's baseball season. I am making a base ball quilt too, for a friend who is a BB fanatic. I am using a variation of the durnkards path pattern and have material with base balls on it. It will be white and red (Phillies). I already named it Curve BAll. Show and tell soon!

A long time ago, I had a pattern, I think it might have been a drunkards path or variation. Anyway the setting joined the four blocks to form a ball. I was always going to try it and sew white balls with red stitching. I think you could find a stitch on your machine that looked like baseball thread

the best baseball quilt I've seen is this one: http://www.mattandshari.com/quilting...quilt-new.html

Here's one I did with baseballs and then another with football fabric, both easy ideas, no patterns.[ATTACH=CONFIG]323500[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]323501[/ATTACH] Hopefully they'll give you another idea of what you might like to do.

Here's one I did a few years back for my nephew who loves baseball.
I enjoyed making it and I know that he loved it. The fabric is what these kids love and this fabric was beautiful. It was probably my first time buying such nice fabric for a quilt, as well (Kauffman and others).
