Fabric Requirements

Baby Quilt – 42” by 42”Metric - 108 cm by 108 cm

Fabric with panels and complementary fabrics. Striped border motifs work great with this quilt.

Here are some examples of the type of fabric that works with this pattern.It is fun to fussy cut the stripes for the borders as well as the panel.You can fussy cut the 8.5” squares from some of these fabrics as well as the fussy cut stripes. Sometimes you need to buy the panels in a separate fabric.


I found all of these fabrics at http://hancockfabrics.com except for the dog fabric which was at http://keepsakequilting.com.

Fabric Requirements1. If the stripes and panels are the same fabric you need (2) yards.

If the panel is separate you need (4) panels plus (1) yard of a striped fabric.

2. 1 ¼ yards background fabric.

3. ½ yard accent fabric.

Cutting Directions1. Fussy cut the panels and striped fabric (Mine is the Pirate Fabric)
