Let's Talk Baby Quilt Patterns!
I've already gone on record as saying there really isn't such a thing as a baby quilt pattern. My thinking is that what makes it a baby quilt is who you give it to, which in turn dictates the size and fabric choices. Not that patterns can't be designed specifically for a baby quilt (and thus would be strange to give to an adult male!), but don't get yourself trapped into thinking only something labeled "baby quilt" will work for a baby.
Is there really such a thing as a baby quilt pattern?

Although you can use any pattern, especially in a small print or scaled down version, I think there really IS such a thing as a baby quilt pattern. They are fun themed for the little ones!

I'm with you. Any pattern will work.
Baby Quilt Patterns

American Jane Let's Pretend Pattern
When you're a child the game of "let's pretend" allows you to drive cars, fly airplanes, ride horses, sail boats, and more, all in the comfort, and safety, of your own backyard. By using Moda fabrics "Wee Play", in the centers of the 12 different blocks of this quilt, you can relive those days with Dick and Jane and pass on those memories of simpler times to your own children or grandchildren. Simple block setting with sashing and borders. Finished size 46"x 57".

Barnyard Friends

Doo Da Daisy

Bunny Hill Designs Posy Time Pattern
Build your garden out of your favorite charm squares, plant some yo yo posies, and watch them bloom. Then stand back and enjoy your work. This little quilt is so easy you'll want to make one for yourself and one for a friend. Finished size 26"x 31". Includes instructions, diagrams and full-size applique and yo yo patterns.

G.E.Designs Strip Maze Pattern
Time to say good-bye to the diet and succumb to the temptation of the Jelly Roll(you know, those pre-cut 2 1/2" strips that you find at the quilting store). Easily strip pieced all the way, this quilt comes together quickly. Pick any of the 3 sizes. Crib 34"x 45", Lap 56"x 67", or Twin 67"x 100".

Needlings Polka Dot Pets Pattern
Nothing say cute quite like puppies and kittens, so that makes this quilt doubly cute, because it has both. These adorable, vintage-inspired appliques alternate with pieced blocks, and join with an outer border, to create quilts in 3 sizes; Baby 35"x 41", Crib 53"x 63", and Twin 71"x 85". Pieced blocks use fat quarters, appliques use a fusible or hand turned technique, and have embroidered details.

Me and My Sister Designs Cake Walk Pattern
Come, join the latest rage and use 10" pre-cut squares, also known as Layer Cakes, and join them together with Jelly Roll strips to make this unique quilt. On-point squares seem to float in the middle of other squares surrounded by a strip pieced border with corner squares. Finished size 64 1/2"x 64 1/2".

Kati Cupcake Vintage Baby Pattern
Horizontal bands of whole fabric and bands pieced from rectangles, cut from fat quarters, combine to create this adorable quilt. Add in the fact that there are ruffles combined in with the bands and that makes it perfect for your little princess or for the next baby girl's shower on your list. Or, be creative, change up the colors from the quilt that's shown, leave off the ruffles, and it could be for a boy.

Brandywine Design Just Ducky Pattern
This quartet of little quackers will be a delight for any child and will brighten any room with their charm and innocence. A border of hourglass blocks makes the ducks shine. Finished size approximately 36"x 36".

Cupcake Pattern
Oh so simple, especially when you use pre-cut Jelly Rolls and Charm Packs, although it can also be made with fat quarters. Horizontal rows of large blocks pieced in stripes alternate with rows using Charm squares, with giant ric-rac sewn in-between them and then bordered on the sides with vertical rows of Charm Squares. Add to this a large applique flower and you've got nothin' but fun! Finished size 45 1/2"x 55 1/2".

Thimble Blossoms Mama's Boy Pattern
Even little boys need something to keep the warm and a soft place to lay their heads when Mom's not around. So, why not make him a quilt and pillow that's just his size with this pattern. Finished size of quilt, 42"x 50"

Easy Bake Pattern
Come, join the latest rage and use 10" pre-cut squares, also known as Layer Cakes, to speed up the piecing process. The look is then in how you cut those squares and combine them back together. Design is created by then cutting those squares in halves, quarters and sixteenths then reassembling them with a border. Finished size 64"x 64".

- I don't have any baby quilts yet, but my daughter is making them for her baby hope chest!
I love baby quilts...they are simply irresistable, and I can't wait until it's time for our first baby that gets to sleep in those handmade blankets of love!
Great lens,
Connie

- I love all handmade quilts! I collected some vintage 1960's-70's from eBay, but don't have any baby quilts. I made a small quilt to fit a chest-seat top and a woolen one for my car once. I've always wanted to do baby quilts as they wouldn't take as long.I like appilqued and log cabin types.

- Nice! Does she want to be a guest blogger? :-) I adore doing baby quilts, mostly because I'm too ADD to do the same pattern for long. I have managed one king-sized quilt in my lifetime, which I insanely decided to hand quilt. Only about halfway through after seven or so years. :-(
