My "go to" is squares of chenille and flannel prints - squares 4" , 5" even 6" depending on what you like. I usually do 4" . Tie rather than quilt. I had read a warning somewhere about the dangers of tying a baby quilt but I can't remember the problem - so I tie tightly and securely stitch the bow to the quilt so baby can't choke on it. Lots of ways to arrange the squares. Can whip out one of these adorable quilts in no time. Hope this helps. Have fun!
