Four Square Simple Charm Pack Baby Quilt + New Club Havana Fabric

This Free Charm Pack Baby Quilt Pattern makes use of simple but bright prints.  Patty Young’s Colorful new line Club Havana’s bold prints are perfectly suited for the Four Square Quit Pattern.  Patty’s new line Club Havana was inspired by what else, but Havana!  She combines tropical colors with novelty prints such as old cars for a great summer fabric line. The four square quilt pattern is an incredibly fast pattern to sew.  The entire quilt took four hours from start to finish.  Including basting, quilting, and binding.

I quilted it with simple diagonal diamonds that finished quickly but still have a nice clean look. The quilt pattern is called foursquare like the child’s game played on the playground.  Each colored block is one corner out of four squares and so the name.

So it is the perfect last minute quilt to gift as a baby shower gift.  You might also like the simple square baby quilt pattern.
The backing is from Patty Young’s previous line, but I had enough on hand for the backing and I thought it went with the tropical vibe.
