Choose a soft pastel fairy flannel for that new baby girl you want to spoil, or a handsome green and blue homespun fabric for that little boy on the way. It’s so easy, a formal baby quilt pattern isn’t really required: just a sewing machine, a pair of scissors (or rotary cutter) and a lot of time to spend looking at fabrics in the fabric store!

To simplify this …
To simplify this step:

(Just in case you didn’t get it the first time she said it)

Center of Quilt = 1 fat quarter (18×22)
1st border = 1 fat quarter (18×22)
2nd border = 15 inches of 44″ wide fabric
3rd border = 15 inches of 44″ wide fabric
Binding (thats the outer rim) = 15 inches
Backing = 1 yard, again basic 44″ wide.
Batting = SHE uses low loft

Good luck!
