While trying to find a simple baby quilt pattern I came across several ideas for newbies. There are lots of reasons for needing to make fast quilts and it isn't constantly for lack of interest or ability. Occasionally we simply don't have time to piece a quilt and then do the hand quilting. There are several methods to locate and also make up simple baby quilt patterns to create fast and yet wonderful presents.
Not everyone needs or has the time to get involved in the nitty-gritty of quilt making but still adore the finished product. When you find out the best way to create strip quilts as well as the many collections of the strips and blocks you'll find quilting is interesting even when time is brief.
You may need the baby quilt size can be anywhere from 36-inch square to 36 X 45. There isn't any set rule a quilt must be any particular size.
One way is a strip quilt. A strip quilt is nothing more than strips sewn together. The attractiveness of these is how they're cut and assembled after each of the strips are sewn. You cut lengths of cloth about 1 to 2 ½ inches wide and 6 to 12 inches long.
You'll sew quite a few these strips together to make up a 12-inch square. You are going to have tattered borders after sewn than you are able to utilize a 12-inch square template and cut out a square. Now you've all even borders, these square will all be ordered or assembled and then bordered.

Another is the weekend quilt is along an identical line as the strip quilt. You cut the strips in whatever length you would like, sew them together and then cut them in blocks of say 2 ½ to 3 1/2 inches broad and say 36 inches long. No set rule on each length or width of strips. Sew raw edges together in color arrangement light to dark. Or any color organization that pleases you.
Not to mention there's the simple nine patch. Utilizing the simple strip strategy mentions you can create many versions of the nine patch, twice nine patches, crazy quilt and a number of other layouts.
The way to sew a quilt and maintain memories
This is really an option for maintaining those infant clothing as they grow out of. I made a quilt for my mother in law using every one of the materials from my kid's clothing I'd used. It's but one of her favorite things. It's possible for you to make use of the material from your infant's clothing and you'll consistently possess the memory of when they were tiny.
And let's not look the pre-printed quilt tops. These are able to be an individual sheet of material or a three layer pre-quilted clothes that only desire a binding to be used. Ok, this one doesn't actually count but fast quilts made simple than this is the fastest I know of.
