Making baby quilts is so much fun! In fact making any number of items for a baby is very very rewarding.
Having 3 grandchildren has given me plenty of opportunities to make lots of great items and I’m going to share them here with you including tutorials & their patterns where applicable for free.

My daughter loves to theme her children’s bedrooms so some of the items below have a theme that I’m sure you will notice. Have fun selecting your fabrics and don’t hesitate to mix fabric textures to create just the right finished item.
There are more items I will be adding here over the next months or so as I have yet to write up tutorials for them. My daughter has also put in a few extra requests recently so once we have drafted the patterns and made them I will add them here, tutorials & free patterns where possible.

A soft texture bunny toy that will be loved by all babies and their older siblings. Take care that you have extra fabric to make one for all your other grand children because once they see the first one you make they will want one too! These are also the perfect gift to make for an expectant mum.
Not all bibs are equal - and here’s why I love these ones. The bibs absorb dribble in the top fuller layer of fabric that then allows the air to circulate and keeping the top layer drier for longer.
With 3 different textures included - wood, 100% cotton and towelling these make an excellent teether.
A great blanket for a wee one to enjoy and discover textures and sounds. This blanket can also be used as a pram blanket due to the ties on the back!
