Years ago when I first got back into quilting, I did it because I wanted to learn how to make a baby quilt. I think that making a baby quilt is one of the main reasons that people pick up quilting. They are great quilting projects for beginners since they are small and relatively quick to sew.
I know that many of you here are avid quilters, but I also hear frequently from those wanting to learn how to quilt. I’m asked frequently “how do I make a quilt from start to finish?” I actually love those kinds of questions because it means that people are interested in quilting! When they ask me how to learn how to quilt, I always tell them one thing. The only way to learn is by doing! Just pick a project and start. If it turns out badly, just don’t show it to anyone.
I’ve compiled more than 25 baby quilt patterns that I think are simple, fun and unique. Each of these is a free pattern. Whether you’re an experienced quilter or new to the quilting world, I hope that you’ll find a project to inspire you!

Wow, how nice. I love all of these quilts. You do beautiful work. Thank you for all the tips
This is such a useful post, baby quilts are the ones I make the most as presents. Thank you. x
Really very pretty, Thanks a lot!
If anyone makes a quilt they think didn’t turn out well, there’s always a charity that will be happy to “take it off your hands”!!!
That’s an EXCELLENT suggestion! Thank you!
All your quilts are beautiful. On the first one Dresden Burst you have a zebra may I ask where you got it. I have a daughter with a disabled child I know she would love it for him.
Thank You
