What a wonderful idea. I have a friend with an autistic child and I want to make one. Could you possibly give us a blow by blow with measurements for construction or even a tutorial.

Sorry for the delay fish92241. I was away. What I can share with you all are the dimensions of the fabric squares I use. I believe the fidget quilts end up about 18 x 24 which is the size my particular facility likes. Your facility may have different specifications.

I have 2 different sets of cutting instructions in my notes to myself.

1. 2 - 6 1/2" squares and 4 - 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 squares. On this one the large squares are the top right and bottom left corners. The smaller pieces are the other corners.

2. 2 - 6 1/2" squares, 1 - 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" rectangle and 1 - 6 1/2" x 15 1/2" rectangle. This is the one on the first post of this thread.

I hope this was clear.

Oops - correction!!! I haven't made these in a while. I just made one using the measurements labeled #1 above. Turns out that makes a 12" square quilt. I guess that one is meant to have a bright border.

You said you sewed the door on three ways -- that should hold up at least as long as the lace.

Loved the idea of the prairie points for opening a window, lots of novelty fabrics for underneath. Don't forget to add velco, hink they love the noise it makes.
