I also really love the Summer Breeze blocks although that would mean lots of work!Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712944961899873052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-64631278011234028812015-06-25T01:33:34.238-07:002015-06-25T01:33:34.238-07:00What did you choose?

When I have made quilts for children, I tend to back them in flannel because they are so warm and snuggly in the winter.

While not in every quilt I make, I think about value a lot...babies can't see much, but they can see high contrast. Lastly I usually use minky or flannel on the back and sateen to bind...texture can be fun!<br /><br />But none of these really define a baby quilt...well, maybe just the size. I think anything else can go!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312372228173240728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-77906437300391839102015-05-07T16:29:55.057-07:002015-05-07T16:29:55.057-07:00I agree all of those would make great baby quilts....I agree all of those would make great baby quilts. I like the "I Spy" in some form or other as it becomes more than just a colorful bed cover.<br />The first baby quilt I made for a grandson was 51 x 63 inches and too small for a single bed. The one I made for his brother was 55 x 59 and I am working on its replacement now. The following six for other grands were all bigger but somewhat babyish for a teen, even though they fit on a single bed. <br />For church friends I tend to go for crib-sized. They can be used as a cover, even on a kid napping anywhere.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-311171218243627432015-05-07T14:11:38.592-07:002015-05-07T14:11:38.592-07:00Of course the blue quilt works as a baby quilt- it...Of course the blue quilt works as a baby quilt- its perfect! 40 x 60 is a great size for that I think. <br /><br />And the scrappy log cabin would work beautifully as a baby quilt too – all that glorious colour and a vintage vibe. Sure to become a much treasured heirloom! <br /><br />In fact , I love all of your proposed baby quilt choices. I usually use a lot of colour for baby quilts and just make whatever takes my fancy as Im pulling fabrics from my stash. <br />Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147280143371495318.post-34130347244844609082015-05-07T13:00:37.267-07:002015-05-07T13:00:37.267-07:00All of them would make great baby quilts.

I like to make baby quilts 40" x 50". Any of those will work - there are no rules. I like to use flannel just for backing - so the quilt can breath (minky is nice too).Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.com
