Since trugger referred to a "circles" pattern a few days ago, I thought I would try to get the nerve to post one or two that I made a couple years ago. It is also Raw Edge Applique' and I have used the 'Heat n Bond Lite. The only "quilting" that was done was a straight stitch around the large circles after it was sandwiched. All of the circles were initially edge-stitched with either a zig-zag or a buttonhole stitch onto the base square. They certainly aren't fancy-schmancy either, but the mom's were happy so then I was too! The pattern came from Quilter's Schoolhouse in August, possibly of 2002, so it's an oldie.

Those are great!

What fantastic quilts! Handsome and fun!

Very nice. Love the colors. The baseball one is great:)

Very NICE!!!!

Awesome quilts...I am a lover of baseball!
Were you going in circles by the time you finished?
They are great!

wonderful quilts!

Very nice, I love these. I really like the fabrics that you chose also.

On the first one, Jackson's blanket, the baby shower was held at Christmas time and I really didn't have time to work with it very much, the baby wasn't due until April I think. So I grabbed a handful of fat quarters of a particular "family" of fabrics on display at my LQS. I cut and pinned a few squares and wrapped them up with a note saying " . . this is what I have in mind". The mommy liked it so much, she went to the same LQS and bought several yards of one of the fabrics to make covers for the seat and back of her rocking chair in his room. For Paxton's Baseball field, the mommy had indicated that the baby's room would be all baseball themed, with reds and blues as dominant color. Once I got started I really did get crazy. I found most of the baseball fabrics online. And then my DH started suggesting the various field positions. We ended up making a Game out of it at the baby shower. And BTW these two mommies are sisters.

both are very nice, but I love that baseball quilt!! I'm going to save that one !!

Very nice. I especially like the baseball quilt.

The creativity of people on this board continues to amaze me! I really like both of these and my husband would like the baseball one.

How fun those two are! You did a wonderful job. My family is wild into sports so the second one is truly my favorite.

very nice

Great job! They are perfect baby quilts!

Love the baseball theme. My grandsons would love something like that.

Looks great!

So now I have to ask you if you allfound the lay-out of the baseball field??? There is a Pitcher's Mound(sand with a diamond pad on it), 1st, 2nd and 3rd base, Home Plate, Catcher behind Home Plate, 2 Batters warming up on each team, Team Colors/Shirts and the Score, the Bat Boys behind home plate, and the Trophy that the winning team received! There is also the Outfield (grass)and the pictures/advertising on the back wall behind the outfield. I had so much fun making this one, I threatened the mommy that I couldn't give it up! When her husband saw it he said it could not be spit on or pooped on, and that it ONLY could be hung on the wall, with the other baseball theme things they had, so I was glad he was also happy with it! :)

Looks like a fun project

Soooo cool! You hit a GRAND SLAM with those! :thumbup:

I had not eever seen a quilt of circles before. Pretty neat, thanks for sharing.

good job.

Very nice!

Oh how fun those both are. Thanks for sharing.

Love, love those circles!

I've always liked the circle quilts. Want to do one in polka dots like I saw in a magazine.

Such beautiful quilts.

Those are just wonderful!!

Nice work!

They're adorable!

Very nice!!!
:thumbup:

Paxton's quilt is the best.... but the baseball one would be the vote for most little boys.... great work... fantastic idea and color choice....

I think they're great!

Those are great. Lucky little boys.

Is that sharp.

Stunning quilts especially the sports one. Great for a masculine design.
Congrats, Kutnso

Thanks for showing two possibilities for this pattern. The baseball theme is so unique. I want to try this myself - probably smaller though!

That's really a neat job.

They are both lovely and the baseball one is a nice surprise with the circles and then the baseball diamond in one. Mother's were rightfully proud and you are commended for making them.
