    Help with baby quilt design needed.

    I need help. Very new quilter, still trying to machine quilt my first quilt (had to give up quilting for three years but back to it again). Friend having a baby shower in 3 weeks. I need to use Michael Miller Moon and Stars fabric in the gray and yellow. Any suggestions for a pattern would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try a disappearing 9-patch. It's pretty easy and quick.

    I just made a quilt I found on Pinterest that was from Lo, Ray and Me

    Unfortunately, I forgot to make a photo of it before I gifted. Its more modern and you can do straight -line quilting. HOWEVER, I will tell you there is an error in the cutting instructions for the vertical piece (too short) ... should be an inch or more longer than noted. The quilt is suppose to finish 43 1/2 by 43 1/2. You may want to cut the wide strips and blocks about 1/2 inch smaller. After squaring up my backing fabric there was barely enough width which gave me no extra on sides to square up the whole quilt after quilting.

    It is very easy to put together and if you make the adjustments I noted, you should have no problem.

    When I first started on this board I saw a quilt with 3D pin wheels, I think it was around 12/2012. I feel in love with it. It looks great, easy to cut and sew, its mainly same size squares and the pin wheel squares are folded to make them. I made one for my grandaugher. It is a design that depending on your fabric choice you can make it for a boy or girl, no matter the age. I also made a matching pillow sham for her and put a label on the back from me.

    Chevron quilts are very popular for babies. Look through the YouTube videos done by Jenny Doan for the Missouri Star Quilt co.

    I just finished making a Falling Charm quilt. Went together very quickly.
