Need help with a toddler nap mat
#1
I need the help of all you fantastic quilters.....please!!!! I have a grandson that goes to daycare everyday. He has just been moved up to the toddler room and is required to now sleep on a little cot. Mom & dad need to bring in a cover for that little cot.
THe cot's size is 42" x 21 1/2". I want to make the cover but I cannot come up with how to do it. It needs to be fitted like a sheet somehow . I found the cutest panel of a large frog that says "Welcome to my pad" and its coordinating fabrics. The main panel is 18 1/2 by 24. I've added pictures so you can get an idea of what I am using.
I want it to have the comfort of some batting and backing just like a quilt but it needs to fit over the frame of this cot. Any ideas of where to start? I am not good at winging things. I need to follow a pattern or instructions of some kind.
Thanks in advance for our help

Does that mean it has to have elastic so it's like a fitted sheet? Or can it have straps that tie it on or snap on?
Does that help? I don't see why u can't make a reg quiltWith ties on it then u could tie it on the cot and use them to tie up the quilt??

Looks like a great system to me. I would make certain that whatever you do is easy to handle.
