This is so easy to put together, and comes out looking fabulous! (Not to toot my own horn, but you don't have to make complicated blocks to make a nice baby quilt!) The blocks are cut 6" and the border is cut 3".

Very cute and colorful! And your quilting just sets it off perfectly.

I really like it and the colors, too. But, I have to say that your quilting made a simple block pattern very special.

I agree, easy and good way to use up some of your stash, if its gotten out of hand! Its really cute.

This is very nice and you quilting is beautiful. What a treasure. Thank you for sharing.

I agree, simple but very pretty!

very nice excellent colors

Clean and classic looking - the quilting is wonderful

Very nice

Very pretty.

Yup! Fast and easy! You did a fantastic job on your quilting! Very attractive!

Very pretty quilt and nice quilting!

yours is beautiful...

i had the same idea...six inch blocks...mine has a center block made outta smaller ones...its just a scrappy tho

I just made one like this only different fabrics. I needed it quick and this is reallly quick. Now if I can get this big quilt off the frame i can quilt the little one.

You are right, you don't have to make a complicated pattern to make a great quilt--It look beautiful

Oh how cute--and I love the quilting!

This is wonderful! I've been racking my brain to come up with something fairly quick for twins due next month. You would think with a substantial stash, I could come up with something, anything, but nooooooooo, not so. Having a visual like this is so helpful! Thanks for the idea!

It is so pretty and your quilting is just wonderful.

great job!

great colors. Your right sometimes less is more. Good Job!

You are so right!!

One of the things I keep mulling over for little kids & babies is a colorblock quilt idea. It would be fun to have some kind of base print fabric (dark blue, off-white...that has multiple tiny bits of color in it), then make all those other squares alternating solids (or mainly so) to go with the one print. It would be nice to help them with learning their colors. If you know they will be having a boy and a girl you could do the same idea, but with different main print fabric. Or make the backing the significant print. Just a thought. Sorry if this is the wrong thread to suggest this.

Very nice!

I really like your idea! Thanks for suggesting it here. I might have missed it anywhere else. I'm going to try it for the next baby quilt! You could use plain solid colors or prints that read as solids, or something like Moda Marbles. . .

I like simple, uncomplicated patterns. It's easy to put a little somedthing in a corner of off-set and have it stand out and look really special.

Yes I am a true fan of Moda Marbles! Another line you might like is "Blank textiles- Splash". http://www.blankquilting.com/Splash/...062008_v8.html I have thought about doing the colorblock idea with a jeans quilt for a picnic blanket too. I'm sure you've seen the "less than traditional" circles sewn together & folded back over, like a cathedral window. http://quiltingwithcharlie.com/quilt...structions.htm It might be too much for the baby quilts...although when you sew it you're done...sort of a quilt as you go. You could do this with just 2 fabrics; you could put a couple simple kids appliques in a few of the centers if you made them really big circles to start.

I agree, when your able to add the quilting , the simple looks elegant, YOU have created beauty. (smile) :)

Amen! It's all fun!

Ann - that is just beautiful and simple and soo easy. Love it! Thank you for sharing.
