I was going to suggest the same thing, four patch or 9 patch with alternating block. I use the same fabric for the alternate block and one of the borders.
This one was out of stash, except for the backing.

Get a charm pack, or cut 5" squares from your stash...sew 5 of them together that's row 1. Make a few more rows just like that and sew them together. Sew on a skinny border then a wider one, bind and done. Very quick and simple, no pattern necessary.

Ditto. I'd be afraid to let the baby spit up on that one! You really let the fabrics do the work for you! Great Job!

I am making a disappearing nine patch for a baby quilt for a friend of mine that is a Grandma for the first time. I am using 4 1/2 white strips for sashing in between the blocks, and Birdie charm squares (MODA) for the disappearing nine patch blocks. I also purchased a honey bun to frame the blocks with. Since it is for a litlle girl, I am using the pink, yellow and turqoise Birdie charm squares from 4 packages. It will be pretty when its done!
There will be enough left over to make an additional baby quilt for a little boy.

When I have a baby's quilt to make I frequently will use a panel for the center and then spice it up in the borders. It is quick and easy. Then I quilt around the designs in the panel.

One LQS had a great panel fabric with a book to go with it. That turned out really cute.
