Below are step to make a Wall quilt to hang in the babies room as a momen of the shower. The quilt will be an heirloom piece for the baby once they grow up. This quilt is not complete because I will be mailing the quilt squares to immidiate family who will not be able to attend the shower. Once I received the signed quilt squares back I will assemble and finished the quilt to be taken to the baby shower to be signed by the guests.

1 Yard of Baby fabric of your choice.
1/2 yard of white cotton fabric
1 Yard backing
Binding
Crib size batting

thread
straight pins
and Cutting tools(with ruler and cutting mat)

Finished size will be approx 35" x 25" and can have loops for hanging on the wall
1) Launder fabric
2)Press fabric
3) Cut main baby fabric and white fabric into 2" strips
4) Sew 2 baby prints with 1 white strip in the middle, using a 1/4" seam allowance. You will end up with a big strip with a place signatures or a message in the middle.
5) Press open seams on back and press front of the large strip
6) Now cut strips into 5" blocks
7) Now you need to arrange the squares in alternating directions. See picture.
