Cycling Baby Quilt

1 1/2 yards flannel of your choice (birds and bike)

1 yard cotton of your choice ( blooms and berries)

6 flannel fat quarters of your choice (  land of whimzie Abc)

1 1/2 yard batting-warm and natural recommended

Sewing essentials-universal needle, gray thread

Cut each fat quarter into strips by length (in inches). I did 3 1/4 x 22, 5 1/4 x 22 and 9.5 x 22. My goal was to use up my entire fat quarter so you can approximate your measurements since some fat quarters may be slightly off the standard 18×22 inch measurement.This is what each of your fat quarter should look like when you finish cutting.

Now, after you have all your fat quarters cut, its time to create your design for each one. For each fat quarter design, I tried to do one with big characters, one with medium characters and one with small characters. It just gives it more dimension when you put it all together. Here is what one of my fat quarter designs ended up looking like. You can mix and match as you please, it will still look good at the end.

 Do this for all your fat quarters. Then line them up to create your design. It doesn’t really matter how you make your design, it will look good at the end. Here is what mine ended up looking like:

After you have your quarters lined up, start sewing two far quarters at a time making sure they line up. Since there are 6 fat quarters, you will have three rows of 2 each, like this:

Now, sew your rows together to get one large top piece. Once you have your top sewn, put it aside. Take your back fabric and lay it flat. I did mine on the floor. Now, take your batting and lay it on the bottom piece. Lastly, take your top and lay it on the batting. You will have three layers.
