Baby Bunting Quilt Pattern PDF

It’s a wonderful thing when babies start arriving. Baby Bunting is a cot quilt for my first granddaughter - Esther. Her beautiful little nursery is well kitted out with hand-painted striped walls, an old redwork quilt stretched on a frame and a set of animal appliques framed under glass. With colour, pattern and the animal world well represented I felt the room needed a very simple geometric pattern to add another layer.

Nothing fancy was needed and triangles fitted the simple, fun, practical brief. The technique for making these slightly off-kilter triangles is easy, and easily applicable for any size quilt. It’s a simple matter of changing the scale of the rows width and length - I’ll show you how. I’ll also show you how to do a ‘back binding’ - use this method to make the rows float off the edge....

You can use fresh yardage or use up scraps. I’ve used a combo of new and older cotton prints to give a fresh, timeless feel. Hopefully it will never reach Vintage status - this quilt is made to be slept under, cuddled and washed to threads.
