    Default What is your favorite QUICK baby quilt pattern or block?

    I have only 15 days to make one for a shower out of state that I have decided last minute to attend. Also must not be gender specific. THX

    Our favorite quick pattern is 4-patches alternated with a focus fabric. You could use Sesame Street, Eric Carle or some other fun print for your squares, and just pull colors for your 4-patches from your print. Here is one we did this way: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t145663.html . Yellow Brick Road is another quick one. If you want a more traditional quilt, pinwheels, Jacob's Ladder, and the Simplified Carpenter Star all make good baby quilts.

    Peaceful Patchwork which uses a panel and coordinating fabrics works up really cute and quickly. So many panels are adorable I think and great for that quick gift and this pattern allows you to highlight a particular color in the second border (gender or decor specific) for those unisex panels.

    D9P in colorful fabrics. It always impresses.

    Yes! I use 6" squares and in no time I've got the nine patch blocks to split into 4 smaller squares. That baby quilt can get big pretty fast. In fact, my last one got too big. It's on point so I won't be ripping. Oh well.... Good luck. also like the panel idea given above.

    this one could be quick and done in greens and yellows would be gender neutral

    I made this baby quilt in one day. I had some 5" print charm squares that I used whole, and pulled coordinating solids from my stash and cut them 2 1/2" x 5" to go in-between the squares. Then a 2 1/2" wide white strip between each row and you're done!
