Day 7 ++ Modern Plus Sign Quilts Book Hop ++ Message in a Bottle and Cute as a Button

Welcome to the seventh day of the Modern Plus Sign Quilts book hop!   Today, we will be sharing Message in a Bottle and Cute as a Button as well as hosting a giveaway of a thread collection generously donated by Aurifil.


Message in a Bottle
Message in a Bottle is a quick and easy baby quilt with a really bold look.  I had such fun picking out fabrics for this design, you can really use some focal or larger scale prints in this design because the fabric pieces are so large.  

If you like this design and want a larger quilt, you could actually make four of the baby quilts, then piece them into one large queen/king size quilt. 

The fabrics were from Zen Chic and Bonnie and Camille for Moda, the batting was Warm & White, and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing and quilting.

Tish, Judy, and Emily used the Message in a Bottle pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their blogs...









Cute as a Button

Cute as a Button is an applique pattern that was designed, sewn, and quilted by Paige.  I love the adorable little plus sign buttons in this design and the colors are perfect for a baby quilt.

The fabrics in this version of Cute as a Button from the Sun Print 2015 and Sun Print 2016 collections by Alison Glass for Andover Fabrics, Inc., the batting was Warm & White, and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing and quilting.

Wanda, Karen, and Katherine used the Cute as a Button pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their versions...
