Cheerleader Quilt Pattern - Get creative with Color and show your Team Spirit!
The Pattern comes with 3 sizes: Main instruction is for 36x42 crib size, with additional measurements for 24x28 and 48x56. For cheerleaders of all ages. Whether you border the small size to make a toddler quilt for younger fans, or border the large size to make a twin, this is a fun way to cheer on those who usually do the cheering.
A great pattern for Beginning Quilters. All straight cutting, and straight seams. The instructions include fabric yardage, cutting instructions, triangle tips, sewing instructions, and basic finishing instruction.
The pattern first uses a chart with the given number of strips to be cut for each color. Second, it has a set of charts with piece lengths to be cut and labeled from those strips. The shaping is done with quick corner triangles, or the “snowball method” where a sew line is drawn corner to corner on a square and place on top of another square or rectangle. Once those squares are marked you follow a full page color labeled image of the quilt, assembling piece by piece, row by row.
You will notice the face is done after the top is completed. I have made the lines with a simple quilting stitch, and iron-on the eyes, securing them with quilting. The lines of the balls are ribbon, but can also be made with a satin or tight zigzag stitch.
This pattern was originally a cheer bear as part of my sports bear series.
There are now 3 variations: Cheerleader Football, Cheerleader Basketball, and Cheer Bear
