Hi I was wondering about how big baby quilts are usually? Someone I know is going to have a baby soon and I wanted to be able to make a quilt for them but I'm scared of doing it wrong
Hi! There's a lot of variance in baby quilt sizes, because the smallest ones can be crib or carseat/stroller quilts and they can use the bigger ones for longer as they grow My baby quilts are usually 36" square, more or less. Sometimes 36"x42", sometimes as much as 40" by 50ish", but usually 36" square. That's not because it's the best baby quilt size, that's because it's a size that means I don't have to piece the backing Very occasionally, I'll make a baby quilt 30x36", but at that point it's more on the carseat quilt end of the spectrum (which is not necessarily a bad thing!) Sizing-wise, I'd say the range is from roughly 3 feet square to throw-sized, but not bigger than twin sized (and even twin sized would be very large fora baby and more like something for them to grow into than for the baby to use as a baby)
