I’ve been really busy these past months using my new fabric line,
Vintage Play by Red Rooster.
This is the panel with 12 blocks that can be trimmed to 6-1/2″.
This is the border print that is available in 2 colorways.
The tossed cars are available in 3 colorways.
The tossed butterflies were one of the last prints, but has become my favorite background print.
The puppies are available in 2 colorways.
The check print makes a great border!
These tossed flowers are available in 2 colorways too.
The green tossed flowers are good for a background as well.
The tossed numbers read as solids.
They make great applique in 5 colors!
The road dashes are also in 2 colorways.
Funny thing is, quilters thought they were stitches!
This gives me more ideas…
In yellow I thought this print would make a great legal pad effect.
You might think it would be hard deciding where to start, but before I even had the fabrics, I designed a free pattern for Red Rooster. After that, the rest just kept coming…
This quilt uses some of each of the fabrics, except the green border.
I have kits!

Vintage Play Quilt Pattern and Vintage Play fabric

There is also a bonus quilt pattern included in the book “Tiny Play”
I made this quilt from scraps of “Vintage Play” & “Toy Cars” quilts.
I also have 6 new patterns with Vintage Play.
Add-a-Candle birthday counter.
This is a birthday counter that you add a candle to each year to celebrate a child’s age. I suggest making as many candles as you intend to add to this quilt when you make the quilt so you don’t have to go back each year & make another candle. This is also a good idea to give to mom’s that don’t sew. Just fusing the candles each year will be OK, because you won’t need to wash the quilt.
I designed this to measure children’s height, but at market & festival I think more quilters were interested in buying the pattern so they could hang the quilt in their sewing room! I didn’t even think of that! Guess where this is going later…
Crooked 9-Patch is a stack, cut & swap quilt.
It’s actually a revised older pattern of mine that I’ve taught to children at summer camps. It’s quick, easy and as long as you sew a straight seam, the quilt will lay flat!
is another of my Quilt-as-you-go lap quilt patterns.
In case you’ve not seen my tutorial on this you can see it here.
Quick & easy lap quilts… my thing!
These next two quilts are traditionally pieced, then handed of to my awesome quilter, Tamara.
also a lap quilt, but with great-big applique!
This is also a lap quilt with great, big applique.
