Today, I am thrilled to be sharing these brand new Snuggly Squares quilts along with a Free PDF Pattern for them!!! Snuggly Squares was one of the first quilt tutorials I made clear back in 2010, and when I saw the new Baby Boy / Baby Girl fabrics from Lori Whitlock, I knew it was time to make Snuggly Squares again!!! They are just the perfect fit for this quilt design!! And now, you can make your own as well with the Free Snuggly Squares PDF Pattern!

Snuggly Squares is made with 1 Layer Cake and 2 yards of Background fabric and that is it!!! You even get the binding fabric out of the Layer Cake ;) So ya, It is truly simply to just grab a Stack and get cutting and piecing!! And I just love that Lori Whitlock made both a Baby Girl and a Baby Boy fabric collection. I can't tell you how much I love making matching quilts in boy and girl fabrics!! And these Baby Girl and Baby Boy Collections are just so perfect!!! The colors are so soft and the prints are just adorable, perfect for a sweet little one.

The Snuggly Squares quilt is a very easy one to make. You can whip it up super quick, so it is perfect for one of those last minute gifts. It is simply just making 4 patch units, bordering them with a print, sewing the blocks together, and then adding a cute patchwork border. So simple and yet so cute! Sometimes simple is just simply the best!

Snuggly Squares finish at 44" x 44" so it is great size for a wall-hanging in the nursery, a crib blanket, or to lay on the floor for some tummy time. And as I mentioned, there is a free PDF Download of this pattern, so you can make your own!!!

When it came time to quilt my Snuggly Squares quilts, I went with a favorite for "grid" quilts. I call this my wavy orange peel. It has a great organic look with the wiggly line, and it also means you don't have to use rulers like a typical orange peel look. So super fast, super cute, and it adds so much yummy texture to the quilt!! I used a light blue thread in the boy version and a light pink thread in the girl version, just to add the finishing touches to the two themes. These are just going to be so perfect to snuggle in.

And that is my Snuggly Squares Quilts !! I hope you have enjoyed this post. Oh, and if you make your own Snuggly Squares Quilt or Quilts (because truly, it is hard to make just one) , I would love to see them!!! Grab your Layer Cake and get happy with a little cut, sew, quilt . . . and repeat. When you are finished you can share your quilt with me on social media using hashtags #happyquiltingwithmc and tagging @happyquiltingmc or email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com. I can’t wait to see your Snuggly Squares quilts!!!

Thank you so much for popping in with me to share these new baby quilt finishes!!
I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!
