I need to make a baby quilt
 

I need to make a baby quilt by December for a spring baby. She wants colorful fabric, bright and cheery. I would like to make a fool proof baby quilt. One without flying geese, or anything too hard for sure. What would be a cute pattern for a baby quilt? I was thinking about a churn dash with sashings and corner blocks around each block. Is there an easier, prettier baby quilt pattern I could make? I don't work well under pressure and this is pressure to me. I usually just make quilts I like and then give them away to people I want to give them to. I have never made a baby quilt before. Any good ideas?

There are lots of awesome panels that you can add borders to and have a beautiful quilt in short time.

I've been making the Disappearing 9-Patch with assorted kid prints. Easy, fast, and looks great.

This would be the easiest way to make a darling baby quilt!

3d pinwheel quilts are fast and easy and look great too.

I like to make snowball blocks with kid fabrics, mixing them with nine patch makes a fun pattern.

There is a pattern at clotilde.com that is adorable. I've used it twice and have seen it posted here (or on the old QB-sorry not sure which). It's really simple.
it's called Diamond Patch

Warm Wishes is super easy and looks like it isn't. :thumbup: You could make the focus fabric with "I Spy" type squares, to make it even more interesting.

I agree with MadQuilter. d9p is very easy.

Here's a tut by Missouri Star QC. You wouldn't have to do a border like her's.

A baby is such a special person; please don't make it just a smaller version of an adult quilt. Make it shout BABY loud and clear. That child will probably have a good 75-80 years for an adult quilt, give it a definite BABY quilt now.
