Here is one of my latest small baby quilts. Easy to make and fun to construct. The main idea is the playful animal fabrics in soft pastel fabrics. By choosing pastels you can easily mix either pastel fabrics for a soft feminine quality, or choose bright colorful fabrics to enhance the images and give to a little boy.
The size of this quilt is approximately 30" x 40" so it is not too large and it is quilted with a soft interlining and pastel blue "minky" on the back of the quilt. I purposely kept the quilt simple in design and construction, but used fun, bright colors in all cotton, for easy washing and drying.
Another lovely quilt that I made a few months ago for a baby shower gift is the ABC Quilt in 100% cotton and beautiful bright primary colors.
This quilt is much larger, 40" x 60" and is bound around the edges with 1/2" piping in contrasting red fabric. I also made a pillow to match which is nice if the quilt is used later in a youth bed. This quilt is fully lined in white "Minky" which is extremely soft, durable and totally washable.
