Refer to the instructions for that quilt to learn how to make the X blocks from your pre-cut fabrics. My other X’s and O’s quilt pattern already includes step by step instructions for the quilt blocks. How the X’s and O’s Baby Quilt is Assembled About 160 inches for the smaller quilt, more if borders are added.About 245 running inches of continuous doublefold binding: how to make quilt binding strips.Same of each, depending on quilt size: how to make quilt backing.Outer Border, larger quilt: 3/4 yard (use 3-3/4″ wide strips).Inner Border, larger quilt: 1/2 yard (use 2-1/2″ wide strips).If making the smaller quilt, cut 20 of the squares.(30) 2″ x 2″ squares (3/16 yard to be safe with shrinkage).A quilt made with 12 blocks, three across and four down, requires 31 sashing strips.Sashing and outer border fabrics are listed separately for quilters who wish to use different fabrics.(49) 2″ x 8-1/2″ bars, 3/4 yard most efficient cutting –> cut (2) 8-1/2″ wide strips of fabric from selvage to selvage and then cut as many 2″ segments from strips as possible cut remaining bars needed (probably 9 or 10) from 2″ wide selvage width strips of fabric that are cut into 8-1/2″ long sections.Tone on tone fabrics and prints on a smaller scale are the best choice for this baby quilt. Avoid large prints that may appear to be cut on the finished blanket. Remember the small size of the patch units when choosing fabrics. Your bedspread can be more irregular or sewn in a tightly controlled color scheme. The four small quick compaction units used to create each block can be sewn in the X or O configuration, so it is easy to switch from one letter to another before sewing the pieces. The position of blocks X and O from one line to another – can be different. The sewing fabric is repeated on the outer edge of the quilt. The strip is dark, with corners of the color you choose and a light border frames the inside of the bedspread. White fabric with multicolored dots is used for all block backgrounds. You will need less fabric and other materials, but the list of materials below makes it easy to calculate the numbers (if the quilt is used in a crib or bed, check the standard mattress sizes before you start).Įach individual block contains the same dark fabric, but the dark areas can be made up of four different pieces. The baby quilt measures 30 “x 38” with a band, but without borders. If you want a small baby quilt, sew only 12 quilt blocks, three wide and four high. But feel free to adjust their size by eliminating or adding borders or sewing fewer or more quilt blocks. The quilt ends at approximately 51 “x 58” and the 8 “square blocks. This baby quilt is larger than normal, making it more useful as the baby grows up in childhood.
