The Best Free Baby Quilt Patterns

More than 20 ideas for baby quilts. From quick and simple to more complicated designs. Something for everyone here.

Hi! Stephanie from Swoodson Says and I have the most fun round-up to share with you today: baby quilts! I still have the baby quilt that my Grandma made me, I shared it here. Baby quilts are the best – smaller size, faster to sew, super sentimental, and they'll definitely be used.

If you're in the mood for a quicker project, use up some scraps and make a quilted rainbow burp cloth!

Babies love colors and shapes, so I picked bright, modern quilts with lots of things to look at, perfect for a baby shower gift.  Simple shapes and bright contrasts work well for the little ones, as well as the more traditional nursery and cartoon style prints.  You can also ‘cheat' using a ready made panel and simply add batting and backing without any piecing at all.  Some of my favorite panels are showcased at the bottom too.

Thanks Jaime for the link. I was looking for some help in making my first quilt. I want to showcase some of my embroidery designs and this is just right for that.
And thanks to Deby for the topic. 🙂
