Octopus Baby Quilt Pattern - 3 Sizes

This happy Octopus Quilt is a favorite from my sea collection. The large size makes a great beach blanket, or go a little smaller and wrap your little one in an eight arm hug. Either way this simple bright Octopus is a fabulous summer quilt for young and old.

Skill Level: Beginner.

The pattern first uses a chart with the given number of strips to be cut for each color. Second, it has a set of charts with piece lengths to be cut and labeled from those strips. The shaping is done with quick corner triangles, or the “snowball method” where a sew line is drawn corner to corner on a square and place on top of another square or rectangle. Once those squares are marked you follow a full page color labeled image of the quilt, assembling piece by piece, row by row.
