Take a Fancy Free bike ride and smell all the pretty flowers along the way.
I used one of our easiest patterns, ‘Baby Me Blankie’, to make this baby girl quilt. Simple cutting and strip piecing help this baby assemble fast! Wanna know how long it takes me to make one of these? 40 minutes. Yep. You heard me right…40 minutes! So, if I factor in cut time, I’ve made this quilt top in less than an hour.
The quilting on ‘Baby Me Blankie’ is simple enough to do yourself. Heck, I even did it! All you need to do is properly pin the layers and stitch a 1/4″ along each side of the strips seam allowances. Wanna know how long it took me? About 45 minutes!
Add in your binding time and you’ve got yourself a handmade baby gift for a special bitty one all finished in just one day! Fast, Easy, & Fancy Free.
These kits are available now in the SewModDesigns Etsy shop.Kit is $40.00 plus shipping and comes complete with top, backing, binding & free pattern.

Hi Joyce! I believe this one is about 38” x 44”. I basically use the width of fabric which is about 42” for the strips and then as many strips as you’d like or look best. Hope this helps.

Hi Sharon
I believe this was a Riley Blake line called Fancy Free but it’s been so long I could be wrong about who manufactured it.
