Easy Baby Quilt

Just thought I'd share an easy baby floor quilt and bag idea.
I use lightly used denim, novelty cotton fabric, and flannel for backing. Cut 6" squares. It's best to use 1/2" seam allowance when working with denim. The 2-3" border is fabric wrapped from backing and top stitched. (Batting is cut 2-3" larger than the top, after pinning down) I like to use 1/4" cotton batting as it's easy to work with when using denim. Stich in the ditch for quick finishing. Finished size is approx. 40". The bag is also made from denim, with a border that matches the quilt. Approximately 24" by 17".
The quilt is heavy so it works great for when babys play on the floor, and the bag is large enough for the quilt and to take some toys along. A simple floor quilt you can make in a weekend.

I lost count how many of those quilts I've made. I used them a lot for daycare kids and many gifts.
I've been sewing since I was a teen, a lot! lol I started quilting about 10 years ago. My mom convinced me to do a log cabin quilt for my bed... not a good idea for a first time quilt! Believe me! It had over a thousand strips of material, something like 280 squares... ha, never again! I've made many quilts but a bit easier ones.
