Square In a Square Baby Quilt Tutorial


 Here is a fun quilt tutorial I came up with.  I made this for a friend who is having a baby boy.

What you Need:
(28) 6 inch squares of theme fabrics
(8) 2-inch WOF strips - (mine are cream with brown circles) for outside of blocks
(4) 3-inch WOF strips of center block fabric (mine are all different)
Fabric for binding and back

Here's what you do: (Make sure to use 1/4" seam allowances and press after each step)


Sew 4 strip sets of (2) 2-inch strips with the 3-inch strip in the center 
 


 Chop the strip up into 3-inch increments


 This makes a 6-inch block.  You need 28 of them.

Lay out your pattern - Mine measures 7 blocks across and 8 blocks down.

 Sew the blocks together in rows.  Sew the rows together.  Make sure to press seams going opposite direction so they line up.  Quilt as desired

  2. I did my own quilting on this one. The fabric had loop-de-loos in it so I used that as my idea for the quilting.
