Welcome to the Quilting Board!

Our favorite quick pattern is 4-patches alternated with a focus fabric. You could use Sesame Street, Eric Carle or some other fun print for your squares, and just pull colors for your 4-patches from your print. Here is one we did this way: University of Alabama quilt . Yellow Brick Road is another quick one. If you want a more traditional quilt, pinwheels, Jacob's Ladder, and the Simplified Carpenter Star all make good baby quilts.

I love your Alabama quilt...same colors as the NCSU wolfpack university my son attended. Can you please tell me what size blocks you made? I like the finished size of your quilt esp. the 49" width. I quilt my own quilts and this size is manageable. Thanks you!Originally Posted by wesing
Peaceful Patchwork which uses a panel and coordinating fabrics works up really cute and quickly. So many panels are adorable I think and great for that quick gift and this pattern allows you to highlight a particular color in the second border (gender or decor specific) for those unisex panels.

D9P in colorful fabrics. It always impresses.
Yes! I use 6" squares and in no time I've got the nine patch blocks to split into 4 smaller squares. That baby quilt can get big pretty fast. In fact, my last one got too big. It's on point so I won't be ripping. Oh well.... Good luck. also like the panel idea given above.
One step at a time, always forward.
My favorite go to baby quilt pattern is a simple rail fence done in coordinating stripes and polka dots. it's a hit every time.

this one could be quick and done in greens and yellows would be gender neutral

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
I made this baby quilt in one day. I had some 5" print charm squares that I used whole, and pulled coordinating solids from my stash and cut them 2 1/2" x 5" to go in-between the squares. Then a 2 1/2" wide white strip between each row and you're done!
Warm Wishes with a cute focus fabric.
