Quilt Kits make it easy to get started quilting right away! Pre-coordinated fabrics take the guesswork out of material selection, with colors and patterns that match perfectly every time.

We've been adding to our selection of quilt kits, with comfy quilt kits for baby and decorative wall quilts for the home. You can see them all in the Quilt Kits section of the store!

Baby Quilt Kits

We have a new selection of Cuddly Quilt Kits from Fabric Editions. Plush fabrics, soft flannels, and quality cottons give these quilts a warm & cozy feel. Perfect for baby!

The Teddy Bear Baby Quilt Kit includes fabric for the quilt top and backing. Easy instructions provide step-by-step guidance for cutting the fabric pieces, assembling the blocks, and finishing the quilt. Finished baby quilt measures approx. 30" x 36".

Red, white & blue fabrics and old-time teddy bears add to the nostalgic, Americana appeal of this quilt. Works well for boys or girls.

It's important to note that the fabrics in this kit should not be pre-washed. Once your baby quilt is complete, it's OK to machine wash using cold water and a gentle wash cycle. After washing, lay flat to dry.

The Little Lamb Baby Quilt Kit features spring-themed fabrics with little lambs and baby chicks. This cheerful quilt design uses soft shades of pink, green, and yellow. Perfect for a sweet baby girl!

Cuddly Quilt Kits are an ideal quilt kit for beginners looking for an easy quilt project. They're also a convenient quilt kit for experienced quilters to make a quick & easy blanket for baby.

You'll need basic quilting supplies on hand to make your baby quilt. The following is a list of required supplies:

• Rotary cutter, cutting mat, and ruler for cutting fabric pieces.
• Sewing machine for stitching blocks and rows together.
• Scissors, seam ripper, straight pins, needle, and thread.
• Dry iron for pressing seams down and a press cloth for protecting plush & satin fabrics.
