Part of it depends if you are use to cutting fabric and using a sewing machine.<BR/><BR/>This is a very forgiving quilt, so it does not show if it is not lined up just right.<BR/><BR/>You can use batting if you like, but it may be too warm for a baby, it's just preference.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if you have any other questions!Kathy, Jeff's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148526753978600816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772041.post-63995553526201213162008-05-15T19:49:00.000-06:002008-05-15T19:49:00.000-06:00I love your tutorial!!

It seems to be the most understandable so far, and since I'm a visual learner, your pictures are lovely and a huge help!!<BR/><BR/>Could you tell me about how long it takes to put a quilt together? I'm using 7" blocks and it will be baby sized. It's for a shower in 4 weeks. Also, why do you not use the batting for a baby quilt?<BR/><BR/>Thank You!!!!Tiffany K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07972511201123840607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772041.post-78787756298405481142008-02-02T15:14:00.000-06:002008-02-02T15:14:00.000-06:00Thanks Kathy!

I'm glad I did a practice one first, though. <BR/><BR/>Shoot, this would be a great math problem for me! I'm terrible at figuring out yardages.

If you ...Buy at least 7 yards, 3 1/2 of each color. If you are new to sewing you may even want to buy 8 yards (4 of each color), to give yourself room for not keeping the 1/2" seam allowance. Another thing to keep in mind is how far you want it to hang off the bed. This would be a GREAT math project for the kids! Measure the bed, allow for 1/2" on each side of the 8"square. Most flannel fabric is 44" wide, so you can figure the yardage from there.Kathy, Jeff's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148526753978600816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772041.post-51505272031012764732008-01-22T19:54:00.000-06:002008-01-22T19:54:00.000-06:00I've had this bookmarked for a while and I finally...I've had this bookmarked for a while and I finally know what I'm going to make! My 4 year old daughter needs a bedspread for her twin bed. Would you be able to tell me how much fabric I should aim to buy for a quilt that would cover a twin bed? I'm going to be using 2 colors--yellow and purple. I can't wait! I would appreciate any help you can give me.
