There is something about a soft flannel baby quilt that just makes you want to wrap someone up in it. This free pattern finishes at a cosy 36" x 48", the perfect size for a crib or for trailing along on pram walks, and it is covered in cheerful little animal prints that babies, and the grown-ups folding the laundry, adore.
Here is why this one is worth making:
- It is beginner friendly. The whole quilt is built from simple economy blocks, a square framed by triangles, so you get a charming result without any tricky piecing.
- Flannel makes it extra snuggly. The brushed, soft texture is gentle on baby skin and gives the finished quilt a warm, huggable weight.
- It is a lovely gift. At crib size it comes together quickly, which makes it a wonderful last-minute baby shower present that still looks like you spent weeks on it.
