This is my go-to pattern for baby quilts. I can get it cut, sewn, quilted, bound, and washed in 2 days without working hard. I have started adding the appliqué name for personalization which does add a bit of time, but I like the result. This is my first time with raw edge appliqué though, and I worried about it. End result seems solid though. The colors don’t come through well. It is actually a nice turquoise and green coordinating with the rather astro print. Quilted with Floriani embroidery thread for gloss with a big blue meander in most of the quilt and green free form wavy lines and some echo quilting in the appliqué section. Binding applied by machine with a serpentine stitch.

Cute quilt!

Great little quilt but... don't you hate it when they won't tell you the baby's name before it's born?

Love it! I’m all for quick patterns for baby quilts. You’ve inspired me!

Cant get much easier than a 4 patch and squares! And it lets me look for lovely focus fabric. I make these as 6” squares, but they can be any size you want. The pattern originally came as part of a Quilt for Kids kit, though they use borders differently. I just have to figure out how to do the appliqué easier.

Love your baby quilt and easy pattern. It would be a great stash buster for me. I love doing applique and use Heat 'n' Bond Lite, iron on and then a buttonhole stitch to apply. Easy peasy and have had no issue with fraying. Good luck on your next and next.

That is a great go-to pattern. Your execution is wonderful, too.

You've inspired me to do something a little different than my original plan with an upcoming project. Thank you!
