Charming Baby Quilt

{Silas & Friend Tony Go for a Car Ride}

Have you ever wished you could make a ~~cheap~~ affordable quilt out of designer fabric? Well, I’ve got a super easy one for you today. You’ve seen peeks of these quilt before in my June and July Stash Projects, and here are a few directions to go along with them! You will need:

1 Charm Pack (42 – 5″ squares)

1/4 yard inner border

1/2 yard outer border

1 1/4 yard backing

1/3 yard binding

Arrange your Charm Squares into the desired order, six across and seven down, then sew them together. I prefer to sew the short rows, pressing the seams in alternating directions on each row. Then sew the rows together to create the quilt top.

Cut four 2 inch strips for the inner border. Sew one strip to each side of the quilt, then one to the top and bottom. Repeat for the larger boarder with 3 1/2 inch strips.

Your quilt top is finished! Then layer your backing, batting, and top, quilt as desired, and bind with 2 1/2 inch strips. Enjoy an easy way to make a special little quilt without breaking the bank for each new arrival! At the rate my friends are having babies, I’m going to be making a lot of these!
