Hampton Court Throw Quilt Kit in Lady Eliza from Busy Hands Quilts

Photo Credit Connecting Threads

I am very excited to share with you Hampton Court, one of my favorite quick and easy quilt designs!  The Hampton Court quilt pattern includes 4 sizes - Throw, Twin, Queen, and King.  This quilt has two piecing methods included - strip piecing and traditional piecing.  With strip piecing, you will not be sewing individual bricks together, making for a much faster quilt top assembly.

You'll love that Hampton Court is fat quarter friendly and is perfect for using up your stash.  

Hampton Court has been kitted in the Throw size by Connecting Threads in their fabric ...

Hampton Court Quilt Pattern - A Scrappy Black and White Throw Quilt! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing another Hampton Court quilt.  This time it's a scrappy black and white quilt.  Some of my favorite fabrics to collect are black prints with just white in them.  They're so versatile.

Hampton Court is a great stash-busting quilt pattern that calls for fat quarters or yardage, and it's super easy to translate that into using fabric from your scrap bins.

The Hampton Court quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Hampton Court Quilted Table Runner in Garden Delights! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing a Hampton Court quilted Table Runner!  This one is made with Garden Delights, a super sweet itty bitty floral collection in a rainbow of colors. 

This quilt was made with leftover strip sets from a previous quilt.



Garden Delights Fabric


My local quilt shop has a collection of Garden Delights fabrics, so this is the perfect quilt to hang in their shop.  This fabric collection by In the Beginning is entirely small ditty florals that are oh-so-sweet!  I love this collection and hoarded ...

Hampton Court Quilt Along Finished Quilt Parade! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today is the Finished Quilt Parade for the Hampton Court Quilt Along!



Fabric Selection

My main goal in making this quilt was that it be made entirely from fabric I had in my stash, which rarely happens since I am so often making cover quilts in a single fabric collection.  

My second goal was to make a single-color Hampton Court quilt with prints that had only white in them in order to show that this pattern doesn't have to be a mix of a lot of ...

My quilt top just came off the longarm and is still hanging on the rails, waiting to be bound.  This black and white Hampton Court was quilted with a digital design called Crystal Ball in black thread.  I chose black thread rather than white thread since the majority of the quilt top is black.  The binding will likely be a ...
