What quilt pattern? 5-1 yard cuts for a baby quilt
Hi,
I have a quilt kit with coordinating blues and greens that I am going to make for a baby quilt and I was wondering what quilt pattern you would use to make a baby quilt. I have 5 1 yard cuts. My piecing skills are decent but I would like to do something on the easy side with 1 of the fabrics as a focus fabric. I also wouldn't mind splitting the 5 yards and making 2 baby quilts if that is possible with 2 1/2 yards.....Thanks for any suggestions you have!!!

Maryquilts.com has many free patterns, and a favorite of mine is the Quick Strippy quilt. Or- alternating 6 inch (finished) 4 patches and focus squares, using the other fabrics for border(s) and backing. Have fun!

The lightening 4 patch makes a cute baby quilt. It's the bigger square and then a patch of two which equals in size to the bigger square. What size of the blocks is your choice. I like 6" blocks. If you want to showcase one of the fabrics, make that one the larger square.
