Simple Patchwork Baby Quilts to Make for Boys
My nephews recently had birthdays. For gifts, I decided to make them each a simple quilt. I chose to make super simple quilts, one is a basic patchwork and one is a simple strips quilt.
They are crazy easy to make and only ended up being 44×44. I added a little applique to the corner of each one.
Strip Quilt Details:
For the strip quilt, I just cut 5″ strips of fabric (7 rows) and sewed them together. I wanted to use a charm pack but my quilt store didn’t have any that would work for boys and I needed to do it quickly since I needed it done in a week.
About the Monogram Details:
I just printed out their initials on my computer. Then I scanned and enlarged one of the rockets on the fabric.
About the Simple Patchwork Quilt:
For this quilt, I used one of Traci’s patterns at Amazing Mae and the Moda Sock Monkey Charm pack. I saw there is another pattern of Sock Monkeys coming out soon and I can’t wait to get them!
I’m happy with how they turned out but in retrospect would have made the initials 2 layers so that they stood out better (the cream letter with a red border), but, hey live and learn!

Those both turned out so cute. I love the colors of Cade’s and the Monkey’s on the other. They really look great. Lucky little nephews.
