Cheerleader Quilt Pattern - 3 Sizes

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
