I make crib size (36 by 48) and domate them to the Church for our out reach program for the poor. Batting I purchase when Hancocks puts it on sale for 40 and 50 % off. With that size it only takes 1 yard of batting. Most of the time I use the 6 1/2" square, half square triangle, arrangeing them different ways and sometimes try out a new design for my own 'fun'. Quilting is done FM----fun and relaxing.
