I made this the other day, I feel it is too long and want to shorten it by a row...HOWEVER, my husband feels it is a good size and says leave it alone...It is for his cousin's baby shower next weekend..

Thoughts???

Thanks for looking! :-)

Such a cute quilt! I would do what you think is best.

Cute!

What size is it right now? If you take off a row, approx what size would it be. It is really hard to judge the size by the picture. ;)

It might be long for a baby quilt...but he/she won't be a baby forever!

great baby quilt.. i like the extra length... I make my baby quilts bigger too..

It is now 51x63....I would remove an entire row of 12 inch squares, so it would be close to 51x51 (give or take)

Your quilt is adorable. I had the same dilemma with a baby quilt I made. It ended up about 58" x 70" and I'm leaving it. I feel it will be usable way beyond the "baby" years this way. I am, however, making a smaller version of the one I did for a cousin.

Either size will work but if you keep it 50x60 the child can use it as a toddler quilt on a toddler bed and later as a lap quilt. I personally would keep the row. If you want it more as a play mat I would take the row off. The pattern looks like it would lend itself well for a toddler quilt too.

Thank you everyone, I will keep the row...It's nice to get everyone's opinions :-)

it's a great quilt. if it's for a baby, i'd be tempted to take a row off too.
