    Default Baby quilt suggestions

    I bought these for a baby quilt. It's gonna be a girl and her room is pink and brown, so I thought these would work perfect. The green one with the baby animals doesn't fit as well, but I loved it. I need some suggestions for a pattern. I'd like something relatively simple, but big enough blocks to show off the fabrics. Any ideas? The brown fabric on the bottom with the circles is the backing.

    I think I would take the green with animals and cut center squares, then take the butterfly material and do a narrow boarder around each square, then do a wider boarder around that alternating the other 2 fabrics. Hope it helps

    Maybe a ten minute block with the animal print as the center.

    Disappearing 9 patch maybe. Love the fabrics so I'm sure whatever you do will be great

    Do tumblers! Not "tumbling block" but the one that looks like a cup. I made my own template and it was about 3.5 inches on one side, 5.5 inches on the other, then the two long sides are equal...maybe 5.5" high? then you just cut, cut, cut and sew the tumblers one upside right, the other upside down and they end up in a strip. Match your strips so the "bottom" and "top" line up on each row, and ta daaaaa!

    These are great ideas. I knew I made the right decision coming on to get some help . They are all very simple too. Exactly what i'm needing right now. It's so hard to choose. Thank you for all your suggestions.

    The brown with circles looks really good with the other prints. I would use the green for the back and make railfence squares with the other pieces. I'm sure it will make a pretty quilt any way you decide to use it.

    There is a pattern caled Tweet Tweet by blue meadow designs. It can be purchased from them ay thier etsy store OR I believe it was in APQ mag spring 2010, you might have to check that, or try quilts and more. It is so cute. Large pieces of uncut fabric, with a little chicjy in the middle. Maybe you could revize th pattern and put an elephant, the go with your theme

    You're right sassy granny, the brown circles does go really well with the others, and I do like the big print of the elephants with the green. Hmm. I made railfence with my last baby quilt. I'm leaning towards the disappearing nine patch right now. I think it would look really good with all of these prints.
