You can make a baby quilt lightening fast using charm squares like this Moda precut called Wonderland by MoMo available on sale at The Quilted Castle for 7.00 USD. A Charm Pack consists of 40 squares of 5” X 5” fabric

There are many patterns and tutorials available if you need design inspiration or direction in using a charm pack.

Amy Smart of The Quilting Diaries blog shares a nicely written tutorial for a simple baby quilt using Moda Wonderland. She says this about using specialty cut fabrics:
Charm Packs are an easy way to make a simple baby quilt with a large variety of different but coordinated fabrics.

Go here to get her tutorial.

If you have time and want something more challenging, check out this Baby Dot-to-Dot quilt pattern by Cotton Way. It has a design for a girl and one for a boy, so you get two! Price $8.00 USD.

Thank you SO much for this topic. It’s perfect for someone like me who is new to quilting and overwhelmed by a full size project, but who also has a fabulous scrap stash a mile high!
