With Christmas right around the corner, I am scrambling to finish last minute projects and make as many handmade presents as I can possibly squeeze into the next 10 days. What great timing for a free baby quilt pattern, right?
Sometimes designing a quilt can be...a labor of love. But, sometimes, when inspiration strikes like a beautiful bolt of lightning from the sky, designing a new quilt is pure love, with no laboring at all. That's exactly how it was when sketching out this Little Houses baby quilt.
I saw the rich reds, blues and golds of this Littles fabric line and was reminded of a Mid-Century modern color palette I had tucked away a few months back. I then thought, "These fabrics are so cute and little, they need to live in equally cute little houses...but let's not hit ourselves over the head with representational houses...oh no, no, let's boil them down to their most basic elements, just like the designers in the glorious Bauhaus movement and on into the Mid-Century modern days. Let's design representational houses for our dear bunnies and birds!"

This is a very beginner-friendly pattern and requires no special tools, notions or rulers. If you would like the rundown on my favorite tools for quilting, check out any of the blog posts below!

If you're wondering why my sewing machine is front and center in the picture below when all you really want to see is the quilt top, it's because I took this for a blog post I wrote about how sewing machines work. You should give it a quick read! Click here to learn How Sewing Machines Work.

Hi Suzy, loved your Whole Cloth quilt demon on you tube. I would love to begin making quilts but I dont have a walking foot as my machine is just a basic singer model. Is it possible to make small quilts successfully on a domestic machine?
Many thanks.
Nicola
It definitely is! Just baste really well and sew slowly. You can, I think, buy a walking foot for most Singer sewing machines. There are companies that make universal walking feet too.
This is so gorgeous – I’m going to make it for my cousin and her new baby. Lovely clearly instructions, thanks!
When I click on where it says download it says page does not exist.
The link has been updated, so if you try now it will work. xo
do you have a pattern for the boho flowers?
I do! https://suzyquilts.com/shop/bohemian-garden-quilt-pattern-download/
Hi Suzy, this is such a cute pattern – thank you for making this! I was going to start the cutting for this tonight, but have a question – does a half inch need to be added to the cutting dimensions? For example, should I cut a 4×7 square-inch rectangle instead of 3.5×6.5 square-inch rectangle to account for seam allowances?
All of the measurements are listed exactly as they should be cut. There’s no need to add a seam allowance. I hope you enjoy the pattern!
Perfect! Thank you so much for the speedy reply. Away I go to the sewing room!
