I had some leftover layer cake blocks so I decided to make a baby quilt. My kids have a few friends who are expecting. I didn't have enough blocks so I cut some solids in similar colors and added them to the mix. I've made this pattern before. I couldn't find my pattern so I'm using my memory to make it. I think it's coming out okay.
I sewed 9 blocks together. I needed a total of 27 blocks total to get through this step. I needed 3 sets of 9-patches. I was short 6 blocks so I added 2 solids per 9-patch.
I cut halfway in each direction. I would end up with 12 blocks. I chose a size and trimmed each block down. Then, I added a thin sashing between the blocks. My next step is to add sashing between the rows as well as a border. That's it!! Nice and quick! It will measure about 46" X 61". I think that's a nice size for a baby quilt. It can still be used as the baby grows.
I really like the addition of those solids with your layer cake squares in this one...[I also like to make MSQ's zig zag squares with my leftover layer cakes--makes big blocks...and goes fast]
