Easy Baby Quilts
Our comfort quilts are baby quilts. "Kalepp" brought a large box of fabrics along, packed full of 4-1/2" squares from an I Spy swap and longer yardages of tone on tone and other fabrics that either contrasted or blended with the I Spys.Choose fabrics that work well together. If you don't have I Spy fabrics, consider one of the many preprinted fabric panels available for children's quilts. They depict all sorts of kid-related events and objects. Cut out around panels, leaving a 1/4" seam allowance along each side.
Our baby quilts finished at 28" x 34", a pretty good size for little ones. Vary your block and sashing sizes as necessary. Fabric is about 42" wide, so making a quilt that's 40" or narrower means you won't have to piece the backing as long as you have enough yardage to cover its length.
We used a quick piecing technique to sew sashing around squares -- one you'll find instructions to make these easy quilts on the next page.
