Angry Baby quilt ideas

I have collected about 12 different fat quarters of baby type prints. Any ideas, other than pinwheels ,for a quilt. They have been in my stash for several years waiting for a use. Guess they will become a charity quilt.

Go to a quilt block site---------------there are literally hundreds of blocks that can be used for baby quilts. The "baby" part depends on your fabric choices, not just pinwheels.

D9P would be a good way to use them.

Just about any 9 in and smaller block is good for baby quilts.

Try a Turning Twenty, just use 12 blocks instead of 20!

Tumbler blocks has always been one of my favorite traditional blocks for baby quilts. I'm talking about the 4 sided tumbler block, not the 6 sided "cube".

Warm wishes also makes a cute baby quilt. Use some of your focus fabrics for the centers and then pair up coordinating fabrics for the stripes.
