Baby Quilts

Five baby quilts to share and  were finished about a year ago and I haven't shared here on the blog. At the end of each year, I go through my pictures and organize the year in folders for family and blog pictures.  As I was organizing, I found these pictures which were never edited or shared on the blog. So today I am sharing! Let's start with this blue one.  I had purchased a pattern for a layer cake quilt with plans to make a queen size quilt.   That plan quickly changed, I made a couple of blocks and they took forever, so a baby quilt I could do! Here is a close up

Next is a boy quilt which was just given to a co-worker for his first grandchild.   I tend to make lots of girl quilts and the boys one not so much.   I have only one more boy quilt in my quilt gift stash, so I need to get sewing.  This one is a layer cake, a gift from a friends, with a couple of jelly roll strips (the red and green) for setting squares.

Kaitlyn recently gave this to a teacher friend for her little girl.  The nine-patch squares were leftover from a quilt Meredith made.  I added some jelly roll strips between the nine-patch blocks, my easy way to keep from matching all those blocks.  Next gray strips between the long rows and ta-da a quick and cute baby quilt.

Fourth baby quilt is from leftover jelly roll strips.  I did a simple pattern, just alternating the direction of the strips.

And last but not least a quilt started from a charm pack.  I added leftover solid jelly roll strips between the charm packs.  I like to alternate the rows, one started with a jelly roll and the next with a charm square.  This way I don't have to match the rows so much across the quilt, quicker and easier for sewing.  I added Kona white between the patchwork rows and then a wider one on the ends to make the quilt a nice width.

I love to make baby quilts for gifts.  I really like to use pre-cuts and then use some extra fabric from my stash. Thanks for letting me share these with you.
