Strip quilt pattern for a baby blanket for my nephew
 

Here's a quick and easy quilt to make with 2 1/2" strips. I had an orphan star block, so I put that in the middle. It only has a flannel back, so it's soft, flexible, and there's not much quilting.

what a great idea to use up orphan blocks.....this looks great! What is the size of the blocks?

Very nice!

Very cute!

Very nice!!!! Love it!

good way to use that orphan block and a nice scrappy.

I love that! It's so happy and fun. Did you follow a pattern or 'wing it' on your own? ;)

Your quilts are just winners!

Thanks for the comments!
SBG, I winged it. Just make stuff up as I go along.
Jane Quilter, The center is 12 1/2" with 2 1/2" strips around it. So the strip blocks are 8 1/2". It must have finished at 48" square. (It's been a while since I made it...) It was a bit too big for the WOF of the flannel, so I had to piece the back. I suppose it would be more convenient to not go bigger than the WOF if you make it for a baby quilt. Strip blocks are easy enough to trim down to a smaller size-- unless you are concerned that all the strips are the same width.

Kool Idea. This would make a super "I Spy", quilt. Lots of things for baby to look at. BrendaK
