I make my baby quilts 54" x 54" or bigger. The last couple I have done were 62 x 62. I do this size so the baby can grow into the quilt. Most parents will not use a quilt in the actual crib anymore, found some parents are actually draping the quilt over the end of the crib or using it for a wallhanging. But, by making them larger, they can enjoy them for many, many years.
