Gingham Baby Quilt Tutorial

Modified: Jan 10, 2020 · Published: Aug 11, 2016 by Brandy · This post may contain affiliate links.

Simple squares and straight line quilting come together to create this darling gingham quilt. Perfect for baby! This post contains an affiliate link.

I am so happy to have this baby quilt finished with time to spare! Every baby needs a new quilt when he/she is born. I knew right away that I wanted to make a gingham one for our little guy and since it was such a simple pattern it came together in two afternoons.

This tiny quilt measures 36" x 36" and is 11 rows by 11 rows.

Supplies:

1 yard grey fabric (60 squares)

⅔ yard white fabric (25 squares)

⅔ yard navy fabric (36 squares)

1 ½ yards navy flannel for backing

⅓ yard goldenrod fabric for binding

I stitched 4" squares together, alternating rows of navy with grey, and rows of white with grey.

The backing is navy flannel for ultimate coziness.

It isn't perfect, but my quilts never are. I'm just excited to have a special homemade gift to give to my baby!

Hi Brandy, I love your quilt. I made a few recently for my little grand kids. I have another due in Sept. I need to make him one too. Love how yours turned out. I also love the contrasting binding.
Thanks for sharing at the #InspirationSpotlight Party! Pinned & shared.

These colors are so classy! I think one of these would be great for a fall lap quilt, too!

This quilt came out beautifully! I'm much more of a crocheter, so I made a beautiful blanket before Turtle Boy was born (9 months ago - gah!. Congrats on your upcoming arrival! 🙂
