This pattern is good for fabrics that have panels or other parts of the fabric that can be fussy cut.

Fabric RequirementsBaby Quilt – 42” by 42”Metric - 108 cm by 108 cm

I bought one yard of pirate fabric, found some coordinating fabric in my stash and challenged myself to make a baby quilt pattern.

Lesson Learned: After making the quilt with one yard of the pirate fabric I wish I had purchased 2 yards.
