Baby quilts are a source of comfort, happiness, and joy for the little ones who drag them around, snuggle up, and sleep with them. The fun quilts in Modern Baby are an exciting mix of clever designs with a contemporary flair. Most of the quilts, in this compilation of unusual designs from various quilt designers, have simple construction.

Techniques include piecing, applique, embroidery, and paper-piecing. The applique involves basic shapes which can be appliqued by hand or machine. Tiny Textured Trees is an adorable quilt with uncomplicated paper-pieced trees that appear embossed on the background fabric. Busy Blocks, Vertigo, Marbles, and Square Dance are attractive designs that would look great made with vivid colors from our lovely (and inexpensive) Quilter's Candy solids. Floating Pyramids features a huge pieced triangle made of smaller triangles on a neutral scrappy background. Jazzed Up Tumbling Blocks looks complicated but is constructed without Y-seams. I want to make them all!

I would highly recommend this book as resource for quick, unusual, and visually interesting small quilts for babies and children. The sizes also make them suitable for charitable giving or wheelchair quilts. The variety of simplified techniques offers opportunities to try a new skill. Plus, you will make someone very happy!
