Baseball Quilt Tutorial
*Press the seams down after each step*
Step Three:
Now you need to add the 4 triangles that you created from the green 12 7.8 x 12.5 square.
For the first one line up the hypotenuse to one edge of your current square, right sides together..
Then plum (I don’t know what this means, but I took it as letting the little corners overlap when sewing each new triangle on) the corners as you attach the other three triangles.
Step Four:
This idea of adding two strips to the current square, sewing new squares to other 2 strips, then attaching is going to repeat. Next with the two red squares (3.5in. x 3.5in.) & the baseball strips. Same as the method we used to create the field.
See below.
Step Five:
Repeat with the blue fabric & 6 x 6 red squares. (at this point I forgot to take pics…sorry!)
Step Six:
I made a small white tube by folding a rectangle in half & then stitching the raw edges. Turn the tube inside out. Then I ironed it flat & embroidered SAM with embroidery thread. I used some stitch witchery to iron the “pitching mound” on. then I stitched through the quilt top on either side to secure.
Step Seven:
Lay out your backing with the right side down. Layer batting and then the quilt top (right side up).
I pinned in several spots to hold together. Then I tried quilting the three layers, however after 3, 4, and 5 mess-ups, I gave up. I stitches the three layers together around the red squares.
Step Eight:
I cut the overage of the batting even with the top layer.
Step Nine:
Fold the backing up a 1/4 of an inch & press. Then fold over again & pin onto the quilt top.
Run a straight stitch around the binding & Voila!
If you have any questions…please let me know…I’m not professional, but I could be great with helping out a newbie who maybe me as lost as me half the time!!

Hi Laura,
such a darling quilt! How big is it?
Honestly, I am not sure….I made that quilt about 3.5 years ago. If I had to guess I would say about 3.5/4 x 3.5/4 feet square.
That's very cute!
That turned out super cute! I think it definitely reached it's infield potential and more :)
What a fantastic idea! This is great!
Very very cute- my nephews would love this!
o this is so darling!!! I LOVE it, my husband wants me to make one for our little man!
love it love it love it
