Super-Sized nine-patch - 3 baby quilts from 3 yards
 

I printed this pattern from a post on here a while back, but just recently tried making it. LOVE IT! From 3 yards of fabric you get three similar, but different quilt tops. They are 36X42 so can be backed with a single yard. I use store-bought satin binding to finish them off. It doesn't get any easier or quicker than this, but have a nice little gift. My daughter is having a booth at a holiday fair and I'm planning to put some of these in there, too. They are not seasonal, but hope they sell anyway.

The first one is backed with cotton, the second with minky, and the last with flannel. The minky has no batting, but the rest do.

If you make this - remember that directional fabric may not come out the way you want it to. Also remember that there must be some interest in each fabric or you get one cute one and two that are just so-so. I've already pieced another set of these and think I messed that part up, but oh well! Sew, sew, sew! :)

Those are darling quilts, they do well even though they aren't seasonal.

These are darling!

Nice work.

These are really nice quilts. Love the pattern. I make a quilt for each new baby at church - this pattern will be wonderful.

They are pretty......like the quilts hanging on the rack also.

Good for you. They will be enjoyed.

Those are really cute. You little dog is cute too.

Now that is cool. What a great way to do something like Linus Quilts. Thanks for the idea.

Quilts are cute, great job and thank you for sharing. And the inspector is a cutey.
Have a Blessed day

I love your quilts! I've looked at that link before but have never tried it. Now maybe I will - thaks for the inspiration!

Very cute quilts

I remember seeing this pattern back in the good old days of Simply Quilting. Yours are cute.

Perfect way to do quilts for Project Linus!

So the quilt inspector is wondering which quilt will belong to the good doggie?! Those are super cute, but it's your choice of fabrics that makes them so special! Beautiful.

you will make 3 little ones very happy


nice

Very cute. I would be afraid the satin binding would not last long enough.

I think baby quilts are always in season! They turned out so cute.

Thanks so much for sharing the site and these quilts are adorable.

Sew cute! I'm going to give that a try.

I really like this pattern and your quilts are great!

what a unique and simple design.very pretty

The quilt inspector is my daughter's dog. We kidnapped the poor thing. She's 15 years old (the dog, not the daughter), blind, a bit deaf, and quite arthritic. So she lives with us because my husband is home all day. She needs the company.

Thanks for the info! That is so cool!

Oh, they turned out so sweet. Great idea, fabric..

Very nice!

Great job!! Very pretty baby quilts.

What a great idea. And it didn't add to the scrap heap.

I love this simple pattern and the color combinations really make the quilts pop. Thank you for sharing.

Just adorable! It appears you have an approval already. :)

those are so cute! Hope they sell at the fair! Thanks for the pattern, those will make great Linus quilts!

What a great (and easy) idea. I will be using this one for sure. Your quilt inspector is a real cutie-pie, as well!

Thanks for sharing your quilts and providing the patterns. Nice way to use up some fabric.
