If you are a novice quilter, kids quilts provide great practice. Baby quilts are a less daunting project to tackle than a full size quilt. Baby quilt patterns allow you to practice a stunning variety of quilting techniques. And kids’ quilt patterns are just plain fun–full of whimsy, charm, and humor. Expert quilters love to make quilt patterns for kids because they are legacy gifts for beloved little ones. They can also be a great way to use scrap fabric from your stash.

Some people ask, what size should a baby quilt be? The answer is that there is no standard size. The finished size of a child’s quilt will depend upon the age of the child for whom the quilt is intended, how the quilt will be used, and the pattern used for the quilt. Of course, the finished size of the quilt can be adjusted by changing the size of the sashings or borders of the quilt. The children’s quilt patterns offered by Missouri Star vary in finished sizes from 42” x 42” on the small end of the spectrum to 54” x 54” on the larger end of the range. Not all children’s quilts to make are perfectly square when they are finished; many are rectangular.
Missouri Star offers a large selection of child quilt patterns. You are sure to find inspiration and a pattern that matches both your skill level and the time you have to invest in the project. The most important thing is that you have fun stitching the quilt you make for the much-loved child who receives it!
