How to Make a Flower Child Baby Quilt

I love making quilts with pretty, neat, and simple patterns, and just recently, I managed to finish another beautiful quilt that comprises pretty flowers in different colors. It’s very easy and fun to piece together and is a great quilt project for beginners to try if they’re up for a bit of a challenge.

This quilt idea by Missouri Star on YouTube is a very lovely quilt that has instructions that are very easy to follow especially if you’re new to quilting, and it’s so quick to piece together you wouldn’t even notice you’ve finished making the block units already.

Materials for Flower Child Baby Quilt:

• 1 pack of 5″ charm squares
• 2⅓ yard of white fabric
• 1¼ yard of black fabric
• ⅝ yard of binding fabric
• 1¾ yard of backing fabric
• Light fusible
• Nesting flower template
• Marking pen or pencil
• Ruler
• Scissors or rotary cutter and a cutting mat
• Needle and thread
• Iron, for pressing
• Sewing machine

How to Make a Flower Child Baby Quilt:

Step 1

Cut the black and white fabric into strips, then for the first strip set, arrange them into light, dark, and light, and stitch them together. For the second strip set, arrange dark, light, and dark, then stitch them, and press the strip sets nicely.

Step 2

Fold the strip set in half lining it up nice and straight, then trim off the selvage, and sub-cut them into 2.5-inch strip units. Make sure to keep them in a pile, then do the same for the other strip set, and arrange 3 sub strips together with the dark sets on each side and the light at the center.

Step 3

Sew them with ¼ inch seam and press nicely, then cut the white fabric for the background at 6½ inches, and cut a piece of fusible into 4¾ inches square. Pick a colored charm square, then iron the fusible to the wrong side of the square, and trace the flower template on the fusible.

Step 4

Trace a small circle at the center, then cut it out with your scissors, and fuse the piece to the background square making sure it’s centered. Stitch the edges of the flower, then make more blocks and arrange them as instructed in the video. Stitch them together, and finish your quilt by adding the binding and backing.
