Here’s another great article from Penny at http://www.How-to-Quilt.com
While these aren’t baby patterns specifically, the perfect choice of fabric can turn even the most simple block into a blanket your baby will love. My personal easy favorite is the London Stairs 4 Patch below. The wide strips lend themselves to busy or interesting fabric prints.
Just remember to keep contrast in mind! Two fabrics of the same color or saturation will hide the pattern. Look for companion fabrics (especially if they come in light/dark variations) to make choosing easy! Or choose many different fabric prints, but remember to sort by light & dark and keep them partnered consistently.
