I want to make a baby quilt, and I want it to be a combination of nine patch blocks and fussy cut feature blocks. It needs some sort of border, but I think that can be fairly narrow.

I like the 1:1.4 proportion of width to length, but five blocks by seven is 35 blocks, and then they would be too small. But I have to have an uneven number of blocks or the design will look unbalanced. Three blocks by five is a proportion which I do not find as pleasant (looks too skinny)

Are there "standard" proportions for baby quilts, or does everyone suffer this way????

If you know the answer, please share!
