I’m already of fan of all the It’s Sew Emma books (they are delightful to read and easy to use), so ‘Fat Quarter Baby’ fits right into my collection.
The book contains 20 baby quilts – 10 named after girls and 10 named after boys.
My quilt is the first of the 10 ‘girly’ quilts and it features the classic churn dash block in a clever new arrangement.
As you can see, I decided to see what would happen if I switched the light and dark fabrics in my quilt. For the churn dashes and the borders I used ‘Tiger Stripes’ in 4 different colors (Alexia Abegg for Cotton + Steel). The background is a couple navy blue prints also from Cotton + Steel.
I quilted it with an all over meandering design – can you see the hearts I ‘drew’ in? This quilt is meant for a baby, after all. Why not sew some love into it?
There are so many adorable quilts in Fat Quarter Baby – I can’t wait until I need to use it again!

At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!

I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!
