    Default Quick Baby Quilt from the Scrap Drawer

    I raided my drawer of 2" squares, and sewed miles of them to 2" white strips. Sewed them together in this checkerboard pattern and-- WHAMO-- instant baby quilt!

    It's so nice to have the scraps all cut into squares for when you need them.

    And since it's a baby quilt, the back is full of... babies! All doing their baby things.

    I love pre-cuts. Most of my pre-cuts are ones I've cut myself from scraps....but it is so convenient to just go in, grab some and you're on your way. Checkerboard quilts are easy and fast and they look great!

    Great quilt! Your quilting lines make it look like square in a square blocks.

    Beautiful baby quilt, love the backing fabric.If you just cut 2" strips you can sew white and colored strips together and then cut them. Would be much faster too.
