Free Quilting Pattern – Round Baby Playmat

by

In a world filled with unexpected surprises, one thing remains constant: the joy of crafting heartfelt gifts for friends welcoming new additions to their families. Join me on a journey into the world of sewing as we explore the charming and practical Quilted Baby Play Mat Sewing Tutorial.

This tutorial offers a delightful opportunity to dive into the art of handmade gifting.

As the excitement builds for the arrival of twins for my dear friend Lisa, I found myself drawn to the idea of creating something special and personalized. Inspired by the adorable round baby play mats featured on the A Beautiful Mess blog, I knew immediately that they would make the perfect gift.

While I followed the tutorial closely, I couldn’t resist adding my own creative twists along the way.

The heart of this project lies in the selection of fabrics that perfectly complement each other. Whether it’s pairing small patterns with larger ones or infusing a burst of color with bias tape borders, the possibilities for customization are endless. I opted for a soothing palette of mint, grey, and white for one mat, while indulging in the whimsy of light blue, white, and yellow with a touch of bunny fabric for the other.
