I love this baby quilt pattern. I recently helped with a baby shower for a sweet friend who is expecting her first baby. I made her this quilt. This is the best baby quilt pattern because you can sew it start to finish in a day (as I did), you can use precuts for the bulk of the quilt, it shows off larger prints or theme prints nicely which I always like to use in baby quilts, you don’t need to piece the back (yippee!), and it’s a little more interesting then just squares. The fabrics in this quilt really make the quilt – The Cottage Garden from Riley Blake Designs. Click here for my other Cottage Garden Baby Quilt pattern:
Instead of writing up the tutorial, I thought this chart might be easier – I love “at a glance” pattern outlines like this.
It’s important to let the kitten inspect all sewing!!
Sew the quilt together in rows. I used Spray n Bond to baste the quilt together. This cuts my pinning and quilting time in half at least. No more stopping and starting to remove pins. It is a HUGE time saver!!! The back of the quilt is flannel, I forgot to photograph it as I was on my way to the baby shower while taking the photos!!
I quilted loop de loos and swirly flowers in an all over pattern using light grey thread.
I love this quilt!! This is my new “go-to” baby quilt pattern, especially when I need it done in a day! Kitten likes it too 🙂
