Baby Girl Color Stack Quilt

The Color Stack Quilt pattern is my current go-to pattern for making baby quilts as gifts.  The quick cutting, piecing and quilting are a good fit for my busy schedule, and I especially love the design.  I also love exploring color and fabric combinations with this pattern.  When a dear friend announced another grandbaby on the way, my first thought was of making a baby girl color stack quilt.


I pictured neutrals with soft pastels and started pulling fabrics.  The stack was so pretty that I couldn’t resist photos next to my peonies – the perfect combination.


The quilt top is exactly what I hoped it would be:  soft and subtle but full of color and movement.


I love the feeling of looking at a quilt top and seeing favorite designers, prints and colors all represented.  This baby girl color stack quilt features prints from 2 dozen different designers whose work I admire.


I quilted the baby quilt with straight lines along the seams for no distractions and a really soft quilt.


I hope this quilt will be well used and bring warmth and comfort to a tiny little one.


The backing is a Heather Ross print I’ve been saving, and the binding is an Art Gallery print.


If you’re looking for a baby quilt pattern that only requires a few hours of work, has a modern feel that works for boys or girls, can be made with all sorts of fabrics, and is fun to sew, I hope you’ll check out the Baby Color Stack quilt pattern .  Since it includes instructions for both baby and throw sizes, you may end up making one for yourself too!
