Quilt Pattern: Baby's Blocks

The Baby's Blocks patchwork has to be rather carefully pieced on account of
the corners coming exactly together to produce that charming but puzzling
geometric effect.
For a baby quilt in white, pink and rose, or three tints of blue this makes a
cunning coverlet with edges left in points as it finishes, being then bound in
the darkest of the tints.
As a quilt for the boy's bed it is quite masculine in unbleached, tan and red,
different values of green or any scheme to harmonize with his room.
Material Estimate: Equal amounts of three colors are used in
this coverlet. We suggest for a full-size quilt 3 yards each of light, medium
and dark. For a twin size, 2 1/2 yards each of three colors and for a crib
quilt, 1 yard of each color.
Quilting would be confined to very simple lines, such as follow the seams
obliquely across in two directions would be practical and effective.
