Assemble the Baby Quilt
Create seven rows, alternating quilt blocks from row to row.
- Choose three four patch variation quilt blocks and two Snowball quilt blocks. Arrange them into a row as shown, top, beginning with a four patch and then alternating block types within the row. Sew the blocks in the row together. Press seam allowances towards the four patch variations.
- Choose three Snowball quilt blocks and two four patch variation blocks. Arrange them into the second row as shown, beginning with a Snowball and then alternating block types within the row. Sew the blocks in the row together. Press seam allowances towards the four patch variations.
- Make additional rows, a total of four rows that match Step 1 and three rows that match Step 2.
- Sew all rows together as shown, alternating row types. Press the quilt.
Add Borders and Finish the Quilt
- Use 2-1/2" wide strips of brown fabric to make the borders for the quilt, assembling the side borders first to conserve fabric along the yardage if you are using lengthwise grain strips. Beginners - don't be tempted to measure your quilt along its outer edges, because it is likely skewed a bit. Borders are an opportunity to square up the quilt before the finishing steps.

- Mark the top for quilting if necessary. Sandwich with batting and backing and quilt. Finish by applying the binding.
