A Boy Quilt--Blue and Square!

The run of girls is over and a boy is expected soon in the family.  I haven't made a rag quilt for a baby boy yet so I don't have a stash of baby blue flannel. I ordered online from Fabric.com and the box arrived just as I finished a funfetti quilt for a little girl baby.

For the older boys, I've used rectangles. But this time, I wanted to try squares. I have a pattern for a much bigger rag quilt made of squares, so I did some math and drawings to convert the pattern to a baby quilt.

I cut 6 inch squares out of three bright patterns.

I used the smaller patterns for the 3.5 inch squares.

Four of them together will make another 6 inch square.

I cut five 3.5 inch strips from each fabric and then cut those strips into 10 squares.

That's a lot of squares!

And enough sewing prep for one day.
