I bought some bright flannel...2 bundles of the same 5 different coordinating colors... plus I have one additional piece that matches the colors I bought...so there's six different fabrics that I'm working with. It looks like I have enough to make a quilt 40 inches by 28 inches. Though if I cut a bunch more of the one odd fabric that I already had...I might can make it a little bit larger without going out a buying more. Is this large enough or should I go ahead and buy another bundle and make it larger? And if so, how large would one recommend? Thanks for your input!

Others will have more ideas, but 28" seems really small to me.

How about 3ft sqare? 8-)

I make mine using 8 1/2" squares. I sew with 3/4" seams and sew 5 rows across and 7 rows down.
This size fits the crib and the youth bed. Kids grow up so fast and the rag quilts last forever. |
40" X 40" is considered a baby blanket... 40" X 60" would fit a crib/toddler bed :D:D:D

For a one year old, you ''could get by'' with a 36 inch square but it won't last long because the child is going to grow out of it. It would be a nice drag around little keepsake since this is all the fabric you have, I would go ahead and make it up or you could buy more fabric and make it bigger to start. A one year old would not be able to drag around a bigger quilt, so maybe the little quilt would be a good idea after all....it would be well loved by the child.

How do you picture the quilt being used? as others have mentioned, a larger one would be used longer but a small quilt could become a "lovey" that would be carried everywhere.
