Rainbow Sarah Jane Magic Quilt

New Sarah Jane Magic quilt available in my Pieces by Polly Quilts Etsy Shop!  Unicorns, Dragons, and Mermaids galore.  I hope you'll love this one as much as I loved making it.  (Disclaimer: This post contains shop and affiliate links.)  

This quilt is finished and ready to ship and would make a perfect baby shower gift or Christmas gift for a special child, baby, or expecting mom in your life.  At 40" x 56" prewashed, this is my favorite size quilts to give to babies since it fits well over a crib mattress and will continue to fit the child well for years to come.  This is still the size my small 8-year-old loves best.

Purchase this Rainbow Sarah Jane Magic Quilt here.

I also offer made-to-order this quilts in other color combinations using Sarah Jane Magic Fabrics.

Magic Parade Quilt - Sarah Jane Studios Magic Blog Tour

I've been a huge fan of Sarah Jane ever since I discovered her Children at Play collection early in my blogging days.  I've lost count of how many quilts I've made with Sarah Jane fabrics over the years, but it's at least 10.  So when I was invited to participate in the Magic by Sarah Jane blog tour, I jumped at the chance.  Michael Miller fabrics provided some of the fabrics for these quilts.  Fairfield World provided the batting and compensated me for writing the post. All thoughts, ideas, opinions, and enthusiasm are 100% my own.  This post contains affiliate links.

The pictured quilt has been sold, but you can go here to if you'd like me to make a Made-to-Order Quilt for you.

And with as much as we love Harry Potter and his magical world at our house, I was SOOO excited when I heard Sarah was coming out with a magic themed fabric line.

I love how Sarah Jane captures the imaginative and magical essence of childhood.  These fabrics would be perfect for any child, but especially those with a bit of magic deep inside.

I love that these prints are so much for care-free and whimsical than Harry Potter, and are so well suited the smallest lovers of magic, still too innocent for the Harry Potter stories...but I just couldn't resist adding a little Harry Potter magic to the backs...

Super Simple Summer Throw Quilt - Red, White, and Blue in Sarah Jane Studios Fabric

This Super Simple Summer Quilt is ideal for highlighting a few favorite fabrics with large scale prints.  Strip piecing and large blocks are used to make this quilt really quick to sew together, so it can be completed in a full day or weekend.  It would work with any color scheme, but we chose red, white, and blue for a patriotic summer feel.  And a big thank you to Fairfield World for providing me with batting and compensating me for designing this quilt and writing this post.  

We've all got that stack of fabric at home that we're hoarding...fabric we love more than most and we're saving it until the perfect project finally comes along.

The Children at Play line by Sarah Jane Studios for Michael Miller Fabrics was that way for me, in particular the Rocket Launch Club fabric.  Our family is big fans of brainy open-ended activities, and this fabric has it all, right down to the physics equations.  The airplane fabrics if from the Patriots line celebrating Naval Aviation by Robert Kaufman, but is now just about impossible to find.

Unfortunately every single fabric in this quilt is out-of-print, but there are lots of current red, white, and blue prints out there that would also look amazing.

For best balance, you'll want to choose a fabric with a large scale print (or Rocket Boys), one that looks similar to a solid from a distance (our technical airplane drawings), a medium-to-small scale print (our red rockets), and something with stripes or dots or the like.
