I like to make them a bit bigger so they can still use them until they're in grade school. Also, they can use them on the floor when learning to crawl. Anyway, I like making I spy quilts too so they can use them to learn words, colors, ect. Also, If they have a sibling, I have made an extra "doll quilt" to match so the sibling can use that one for her/his dollie baby.
