About this size is going to be good for a toddler quilt and an even older child, too.
I made some just a little bigger than this (abt 50 x 64) for my grandchildren when they were about 6 and 8 and they still use them for watching tv.
The "normal" crib size is quickly outgrown - the ones that are a bit bigger can be cuddler keepsakes for a long time. :)
