I have a few fun plus quilts to share you! Years ago my sister made a plus quilt for her sister in-law’s baby. That cute little boy has two little brothers now, and they each needed their own. First up, the navy one.

I didn’t follow an official pattern, just a sketch and a bunch of measurements that my mom figured out back when my sister made the first quilt. Hopefully my mom will get around to making an official pattern someday. Until then, google plus quilts, and see what you find.

I got the fabrics from Sister and Quilters, my mom and aunt’s online fabric shop.

I used my Squared quilting design to quilt it, which is available in my shop. It’s such a versatile design.

I used Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads and 8020 cotton poly comfort blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Of course we backed it with cozy off white solid minky! I love solid minky, the quilty texture shines.

A close up on all that cozy quilty texture.

Next up, the green version. Both the navy and green fabrics are striped, which I love!! The background prints for both quilts are also different white on white prints. My mom and aunt have a great selection!

Same pattern!

Earlier this year we found out my brother’s brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. So we decided to make him a plus quilt to use during chemo treatments.

He’s a Utah State Aggie fan, so we thought it would be a fun touch to add the Aggie fabric. I found it at our local Bernina store Stylish Fabrics. Hopefully you can see the fun modern background papers background fabric that we pair with the solid navy.

My mom and I made this together, which was so fun. It was great to work on something together that we could give to him.

We used the same size of strips, we just made the quilt a lot bigger. I don’t remember the size, but it’s a large throw. The first two quilts are toddler sized.

I used a natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I decided to use my new Tangled quilting design, which is available in my shop. It is quilted vertically on the quilt to fit the 90” wide minky backing. I pin minky onto my canvases on the two ends that are cut, because it stretches a lot. Which sometimes means I have to baste the quilt onto the minky lengthwise instead of the width. Which I did in this case. So, the design quilted out horizontal as pictured, but because the quilt was pinned on lengthwise the design looks like it was quilted vertically onto the quilt when I take it off the canvases. It’s an easy way to change the direction of a quilting design…haha!!
