Size

The blocks finish at 10" square. The pattern includes detailed instructions for the following sizes. . .

• crib (50" square)
• napping (50" x 60") - this is my favorite size for on the couch
• twin (70" x 90")

Difficulty

Easy! It’s great for beginners, and a fun and relaxing project for more experienced stitchers. If you can use your sewing machine, you have the skills you need to make this cuddly quilt.

I used appliqué with fusible adhesive and Quilt As You Go to make a super easy quilt - almost all done on the machine. The pattern also includes links to videos teaching needle turn appliqué and machine appliqué with freezer paper, in case you prefer those methods.

You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.

If you're making a quilt in one of my standard sizes, here are recommended fabric amounts needed.

• 1/2 yard binding fabric

Napping Size (50" x 60")

• 3 1/3 yards of a variety of background fabrics

Twin Size (70" x 90")
