Hi my friends!
For those of you who have made quilts for your littles, or just in general, do you have any tip, hints, ideas, or links for pretty quilts that are easy-ish to make?
I want to make a quilt for Baby Girl but am not sure where to start.
Do you have a particular pattern that you just love?
Note: I have only ever done a basic patch block quilt and I never fully finished it, no binding, backing or anything, just the top.
I don't know if I want to do a twin size or crib size yet... or something else.

Since you can't use a quilt to wrap a baby in you might want to make a "tummy time" blanket. For Eliannah I made a simple quilt with regular squares but in the middle I swapped 4 of the squares for a large appliqued panel. I made a picture of SunBonnet Sue dragging a blanket through the mud. It was super easy. If you are making a tummy time blanket just make it a bit thicker than usual and use fabrics with fun textures (FYI you can't use a cotton fabric like a corduroy with a man made fabric like minkey). Good luck! (google "bad Sunbonnet Sue sometime, it's funny!)
i know nothing about making quilts, but i do know that my kids have gotten some...i would suggest making a twin size...they don't use blankets as babies anyway so i always felt bad that they didn't get a whole lot of use considering how much work went into it.
if you click on this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67604797@N00/4234259016/ then you can see a whole bunch of ideas and you can click on each of them below the photo. my favorite (and its super easy) is the 9 patch. i think i might do that one next!... good luck!
