Cutting for the Baby Quilt

Several people asked me for cutting instructions for the baby quilt from yesterday's post...so here you go...

Cut 322- 5" X 2-1/2" 30's rectangles
Cut 322- 5" X 1-1/2" white rectangles

There are 14 rows in mine...23 white and 23 30's prints in each row.

When you sew the rows together make sure that you flip the rows each time so that the first one starts with a white, the next a 30's, the next a white and so on...this was you get the offsetting.  That's it..have tons of fun!
Just figure out how big you want it.  ENJOY!

Hope everyone had a Very HAPPY EASTER!

Wow, only 644 rectangles. I suppose if I cut them from scraps of light and dark while I am cutting other projects, I could have a real scrappy quilt in no time! Thanks for the directions...

That's a super cute quilt done in 30's, I wonder how it would look in another fabric line.
