What size do you make a quilt for a baby?
Sorry, I think I posted this about a year ago and never made the quilt. I tried going through my old posts but I couldn't find it.
My SIL's shower is coming up and I wanted to make something special. (First baby in the family!)
Thanks.
Re: What size do you make a quilt for a baby?
Depends on the pattern I pick. Somewhere between 36" x 40" and 48" x 48".
I can give you some pattern suggestions if you want to tell me what your skill level/ familiarity with quilting is.
Stand up for something you believe in.
I don't make quilts, but I would love ones that are large enough to be used as a "spread" for a crib size mattress. LA has a beautiful quilt that matches her room amazingly (which was pure coincidence--but a great one). It is too small to cover her mattress. We are getting ready to switch her to a toddler bed and it would have been nice to be able to use it as a cover.
That being said, all handmade blankets, regardless of size, are wonderful gifts

A normal crib sized mattress is usually about 28" x 52" x 5", so the quilt would have to be about 40" x 64" to use as a spread if you want to use that as a guide.
