| Chevron baby quilt5 CommentsTuesday, 23 April 2013 | Nicole ![]() We fell in love with Aneela Hooey’s latest fabric range Posy and wanted to make something modern that would show the lovely colours and patterns well. ![]() We got our inspiration from something we found on Pinterest and we just loved the idea. This is a great cot size - Finished quilt size 85cm x 120cm ( 33.5” x 51” )
To makeWe used 12 different fabrics from the range or you could use a jelly roll. Join strips together lengthwise with a quarter inch seam. One of your strips is joined to the previous fabric in the colour order and the same fabric strip is joined to the next fabric in the colour order. Then you will need to cut them into 4.5” strips.
Start sewingOnce you have sewn all your blocks together vertically and then all the rows, you can trim off the edges to make a rectangle. Then put together with your wadding and backing, quilt and bind! We quilted this one with vertical lines to keep with the theme but there are a world of possibilities for quilting.
This was such a lovely quilt to make :) It had just the right amount of challenge and lots of satisfying ‘Ooh’s and Aah’s’ when we’d finished. Enjoy!

So cute! I'm going to give it a go :)
This is alovely quilt. It looks much more complicated to make than it actually is.
I will try it , I have this fabric in a jelly roll. I will try to ad one more fabric I bought half a yard of. Mary
Do you have the complete pattern for this quilt. I was wondering how you filled in the 2 end rows with the binding fabric. Thank you.
I love this pattern as well. This would be a great charity pattern to make for the babies. I would probably adjust the size from 31.5 x 51 to 31.5 x 45. I'm thinking maybe 11 fabrics instead of 12 would do that.
I, too, would like to kow about the binding. Thanks for sharing.
