Baby Quilt PatternsBaby quilt patterns are great gifts for children and expecting mothers. Nothing says love like a home-made gift. Baby quilts are often designed to be easy-to-assemble and quick-to-make and are a nice manageable size for either machine or hand quilting. A wonderful break from making a full size bed quilt! If you are a beginner, baby quilts are a wonderful project to start with. The size of the quilt usually isn't too overwhelming and a nice size to work with on a sewing machine or if working by hand. If you like to experiment with colour, baby quilts work well here too! Stick with traditional pastel colours or dive into bright colours and snappy, fun prints. Never be shy to try colour combinations that are non-traditional for boys and girls. Oranges, greens and purples can give a quilt an unexpected twist. When searching for baby quilt patterns, I tried to choose designers who have put a lot of thought into the design of the quilt itself, but also in their packaging, directions and website. Often people who take the time to make their website easy to follow and use will follow through in their other design projects, such as patterns. There are so many, many good designers out there, but this site can't link to them all. Hopefully by narrowing to these few baby quilt patterns will help with your decision on quilt design and save you time to use for quilting! More designers will be added periodically and possibly replaced with new ones as time goes by. Below you will find links to various designers who have good quality baby quilt patterns available. While the link will take you to a specific baby quilt, most of these designers have other patterns availble that can be adapted to this purpose as well. Take the time to explore and find the right pattern for your skill level! Have a look at these patterns...Cherry House Quilts feature simple contemporary designs and bold colour options.
