I have frequently made quilts to give as baby shower gifts. Instead of the usual crib quilts, I make them larger, about 60 or 65 inches square, sometimes even larger. I tell the mother that the quilt is to throw on the floor for baby to play on. Since they are made to throw on the floor, I don't take the pains with it that I would for one that would usually be hung on the side of the crib for show. This is where I try to use up scraps. Floor quilts were what we usee to do for babies before wall to wall carpeting, central heating and A/C.
