Beginner's Quilt Pattern

Hi I’m Jaime, online most everywhere as Made By Jaime. I’m so excited to share this free Beginner’s Quilt Pattern with you. This was the quilt I cut my teeth on during my first class at the quilt shop and I’ve been dying to write it up for others to enjoy. I love making them for a new baby because it’s larger than your average 36″ square baby quilt and will last them as long as they love it. It’s also great for anyone as a lap quilt!
