One of the easiest ways to do a baby quilt is to use preprinted panels. Then you can simply add sashing. I found myself in the same situation, except that I suddenly found myself needing to make 4 (yes, 4!!!) baby quilts before Christmas. I bought some preprinted panels and threw them together with sashing and a couple of borders. It literally took me less then a day to get the top together and once sandwiched (my least favorite part of quilting) it only took about an hour or two to do a meander stitch. Add the binding and all together I spent about 3-4 days on each one. I sew slowly so it will likely go faster for others. I'll post a pic of the top I did to give you an idea. I didn't have a pattern, just threw everything together.
Good luck! I can't wait to see what you come up with. :thumbup:
