quilt blocks
 

I have taken on the daunting task of making a baby quilt. I have no experience in this area. I got mad at the pattern and wanted to flush it. Any way I have a question if anyone can help me. I cut the blocks out , now do I leave the blocks
raveled or put a hem in each one? I hope someone can help me out.
Thankyou. Doodle bug7

Doodlebug, you just sew them to each other with a moderately close stitch - you don't have to hem each one.

I'll see if I can locate some images for you.
this one looks pretty good-

is your pattern squares or triangles - squares are easier for first timers.

my mom has made baby quilts for years:)

Blocks, blocks and more blocks.
 

Thank you so much for this. The squares are just block shaped, I have the middle in one piece and doing blocks around it. The part or the middle
is really cute. I better get a little faster than this as it is for Christmas.
YIKES! You're great. Doodle bug7

I started a baby quilt made from my maternity clothes. As I decided to have only one child I cut up the clothes and got it started but never finished.

The baby is 40 years old and he has daughters 17 and 9 years old. One of these days I will finish that quilt. :rolleyes:

Good luck and please post photos!
