This play mat is a simple, satisfying project that’s perfect for beginners and enjoyable for more experienced quilters too. It uses one full charm pack (42 x 5″ squares) and keeps the layout clean so the prints can really shine.
You’ll build the quilt from the centre outwards, framing the charm squares with fresh white borders for a bright, modern finish. The instructions include a little extra trimming allowance, which is helpful if you’re new to quilting. If you’re more confident, you can cut more precisely for a neater finish.
The final mat measures approximately 90 cm x 102 cm (35.5″ x 40″), making it ideal for tummy time, nursery floors, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
Take your time, enjoy the process, and sew it one square at a time.
