What size quilt is good for a 3yr. She sleeps in a mates bed. Should I make it as big as the bed or smaller...I've already put together a rag quilt for her and it is 56inx56. If I was to make it the size of her bed, I would have to add 30 more blocks...Oh hummmmm

Bed size. She will grow and want to use it then also.

My little niece loves her smaller drag around quilts - uses them as tents, table cloths, royal or super cloak ...

I wouldn't make it bed size yet. I think when she is older you will want to make her another. small one so she can cuddle with it easier.

If you want her to grow up with it I would increase the size to perhaps twin bed size (not sure what a mate bed is size wise - smile).

Bed size. She can still use the bed size to make a tent if she wants and when she gets taller she can still use it.
