Baby Quilt Pattern, In the Pinks Baby Quilt, Designed in Electric Quilt v6

© Janet Wickell
In the Pinks is an easy baby quilt with lots of visual texture running across its surface. The quilt is made from two traditional quilt blocks, Broken Dishes and a variation of the Hour Glass (somewhat different from my other Hour Glass Pattern).

The quilt blocks are set on-point and surrounded by setting triangles and corner triangles. One fabric is repeated in both blocks to tie them together, but other block fabrics are unique. A narrow border separates the block top from the outer border.

Not into pinks? You can change this baby quilt dramatically by choosing different fabrics.
