Pattern for Baby Quilt
1 Attachment(s)
I wanted to use these fabrics for a baby quilt (for a girl) but am having a hard coming up with a pattern any suggestions?
Thank you, Candy |
no idea for a pattern, but I really like your selection of fabrics!!!! I am sure someone will be by with a suggestion for you.
|
If you had one more fabric, you could make a Yellow Brick Road. How about a Trip Around the World? Or Take Five?
|
I was just going thru some papers the other day & ran across a"Super-Sized Nine Patch" I don't know where I got it, must be off the 'net. Across the bottom of the page it reads,"Quiltmaker-May/June '06* Copyright @2006 Primedia Inc. All rights reserved" I hope this helps you.

warm wishes to really showcase the print fabric would be nice
|
do you know where I can find a free pattern for Yellow Brick Road? If I get one more fabric, do you think I should get another solid or another print? my local Joann store did not have much of a selections as far as baby prints go.
thank you for your suggestions! |

Billie G I was going to suggest a simple block pattern. A 9 patch would be great! |

How about something like this? That way you don't have to cut up those cute printed fabrics too tiny.

GrannieAnnie - with the super size nine patch - say I make 3 blocks 1 each with the 3 different prints, then should I mix up the solids I use around the print? I can follow a pattern but coming up with a design is a weakness of mine :-(
|
lol that answered that..... I just watched a video for making the "Super size nine patch" from what I watched I would only be using 3 fabrics.

I just done a few with 4-patch with an alternating solid. They were easy and turned so cute.

thank you for all the replies, I really appreciate all the suggestions!
Do any of you make a drawing of your quilt before cutting and if so what do you use to do that? |
I would make Eleanor Burns' Quick Trip around the World with these six fabrics.
|
I like to use the Yellow Brick Road patten for a QUICK baby quilt. I also like to throw in some texture blocks, such as Chenille, or crinkle block, or even have thrown in a few flannel block..... it give the quilt more texture and babies like feeling things...
|
Go to the site FaveQuilts they have lots of free patterns and even a section for baby quilts. I love this site, I even have my daughter who swore she would never quilt now quilting because she can get free patterns and instructions from this site.

Theres free patterns everywhere. Check out several websites, I'm sure you'll come across something you like.
For a girls quilt you might want to include more pink fabrics. check out Ericas.com- Wild Thyme/P&B Textiles. Essential Flannels(I made this in cottons, for a little girl, turned out great-Wilmington Prints. Basically Kids Stuff-Connecting Threads. Chocolate & Jellybeans-allpeoplesquilt.com |
I would use a stripe

Warm Wishes would be so nice. Fast and cute! Love the colors. Also D9P would work!
|
Your fabrics would also look really cute in this modern baby quilt pattern called "Colorblock".

What about deciding one solid for each print, then do the block with the center and 4 corners in the print and the sides in solid? Have enough fabric? Or mix it up. Any way it would be cute. OR use the two big prints for your centers, the green dots for the corners and the solids for the sides. It just looks like it would be a pretty quick pattern no matter what. That way, the green dots will end up forming a half way good sized 4 square block when joined together---------so the green dots would still be quite visible. (also a lot easier to set 2 variations together than three) |

I love to do pinwheels in 6" blocks with the prints and solids together. Then use the dot for the border Maybe adding a second small border in one solid between the pinwheels and outside border. Then bind with the print pieces even if you have to piece the two colors together.
|
I am finishing a baby quilt, just have the binding left to do. I made a disappearing nine patch. I used the "busy" blocks in the corners. I love how it has turned out.
|
Precious fabrics!

Have you considered Kaye Wood's 6 hour quilt? Actually it takes more than 6 hours to make it but it is easy & quick. Go to her web site & I think you'll find instructions. I've made many of these & they are cute & practical.

Warm wishes would be a great one. Use the pink green and yellow for the strips and one of the prints for borders and one for blocks and use the polka dots for the back. Just my thought.
|
I went with Warm Wishes

I plan on using the green for binding. |
Love it!! Great choice of pattern!
|
You could try a tube quilt like the one I did here.

Very, very pretty! Good choice of fabrics. Project Linus has some free patterns, if you are ever looking for them.
