How to Make a Baby Quilt

1. Cut 64 total 6"x6" squares. Use at least two or more different fabrics.



2. Arrange the 6" squares in rows with every other color. Put eight across and eight down.



3. Pick up the first row of eight and pin it together with a number one on it. Do the same for the other rows.



4. Now you are ready to sew each row. Sew all the squares together in row one and then do row 2, etc. Use a 1/4" seam.



5. After the rows are done, you are ready to sew the rows together.



6. Press seams toward the border. Layer and quilt by hand or machine.



7. You will need strips to use as borders. Cut strips 2 and 1/4" and the length of the quilt on all sides. Put right sides together and sew strips to quilt top. Turn under to wrong side and sew strips down by hand.



Hope you had fun making this easy baby quilt

There are so many options out there! One of my favorite "easy" baby quilts is a Rail Fence block in pastel colors. It's super simple, can be sized however you like, and looks fantastic. Start by cutting strips of fabric 2 1/2" wide, the width of fabric (from selvage to selvage). Sew three strips together using a 1/4" seam (it's important that you maintain this seam width). Press the strip set, then square up one short edge. Cut sections that are the same width as the strip set, so you'll have squares. In this case, the sections should be 6 1/2". Lay your squares out in the size you want your quilt. Turn every other square 1/4 turn so it looks woven. Sew your squares together to form a row, then sew the rows together. Try to match up the seams where the squares meet. Sew one or more strips around the outside to make a border. Check out the first two links below to see an example of this quilt, and for detailed instructions on the block.

You can make an even easier quilt by sewing the strips together, cutting them into sections, then sewing the sections together to make one loooong strip of stripes. Sew these long strips together with a plain strip of fabric between them. The pattern is called "Chinese Coins." Again, see photos and pattern in the links below.

Finally, check out the last group of links for some PDF files from the fabric manufacturers. They post all sorts of free patterns on their websites. I included several simple baby quilts, and others that could be made as baby quilts by changing the fabrics.

Go to the "Home and Garden" .com and Martha Stewart quilts on the web.
There are various web sites for quilt making. We have our own quilt business and make baby quilts for a hobby. Wal-Mart material department has some good ideas too.

Answer 4

If you know how to knit or crochet, then you can knit or crochet squares(granny squares, in crocheting) and sew them together(if you're crocheting, you shouldn't do the stiff seam). If you don't, you can cut squares of fabric(all the same size) and sew them together, then get another piece of fabric which cover the area of all of the squares sewn together, and then there's this fabric that goes in side the quilt, but I don't know what it's called... And then you sew them all together.
