How to Make Gingham Baby Quilt:

Step 1

Cut everything you need, separate the pieces, and group them as shown in the video, then prepare your backing and binding fabrics. Take a fabric B and fabric A strip, then stitch them together down the long side, and stitch another fabric B strip on the other side of fabric A. Keep adding the strips alternating the colors, then do the same steps with the other group of fabric strips, and trim them into rectangles cutting the edges straight.

Step 2

Fold the sheet to a smaller size, then sub-cut the sheet into strips with a 5½ inches width, and rearrange the strips as demonstrated in the video. Start stitching the strips together making sure the colors are alternating and the seams are nesting, then lay the giant backing piece smoothly to the floor, and tape it down to make sure it doesn’t move around.

Step 3

Place the batting on top and smooth it out, then lay the front of the quilt on top smoothing it out, and then pin the center of every other square. Stitch the layers together down the lines of the squares, on either side, or however you want, then trim off the excess layers of fabric all around, and bind the edges.
