Does anyone know of a quilt pattern that I can make in a couple of days for a baby shower?

How about a simple 9-patch alternating with plain blocks?

Those are easy. I did three of them when I first started quilting. That would go very fast.

You could get some cute baby fabric and fussy cut the plain squares for the pattern Knitnoid is showing.

What are you planning on using for backing? Flannel, Minkee and Fleece are snuggly to little ones.

You can't go wrong with the picture knitnoid posted ... it's simple, but has an old world charm. Soft pastle flannels would be wonderful made up like that. :)

How about buying a panel with baby themes on it, add a border or two and you have a quilt. Easy and quick. Marge

You could make one big log cabin block. That looks great as a baby quilt.
