Baby Quilt Question:
The best I could come up with would be 20 strips:
20 x 40" = 800"
double once: 400" x 4.5"
double twice: 200" x 8.5"
double three times: 100" x 16.5
last time: approx. 50" x 32.5
Plus what ever size borders you want.
OR
18 strips:
18 x 40" = 720"
double once: 360" x 4.5"
double twice: 180" x 8.5"
double three times: 90" x 16.5"
last time: approx 45" x 32.5"
Plus borders.
Should work great!
Not sure about the baby vest...scraps?
