for some reason i always seem to have the most trouble when it comes to baby quilts- i don't know why that is= i can design a queen size quilt in my sleep- get up and start making it- (i quilt in my sleep alot :) )
but when it comes to a baby/kids quilt i struggle, and take forever putting one together-
i suggest you look through magazines/books- google baby quilts, there is inspiration everywhere...sometimes a particular fabric line also offers free patterns to go with the line
