Baby to Bigger Quilts
Baby quilts typically range in size from about 30 inches by 40 inches for smaller cuddle quilts to around 38 inches by 48 inches for crib quilts. Larger quilts, around 50 inches square or bigger, can also be made to accommodate toddlers as they grow.
A lap quilt typically measures between 36 x 48 inches and 50 x 60 inches, but sizes can vary based on personal preference. Some quilters prefer larger lap quilts, which can range from 52 to 78 inches.
Most of my smaller quilts are 48x60. I personally prefer a larger size for these as they are able to be used for a longer period of time.
Now to the fun question………What are your favorite baby quilts that you have made for a lap (or larger) for yourself or a baby.
I just finished my newest favorite called FLOWER PATCHES from all people quilt.Designer: Linda Lum Debono
Finished quilt top: 49-1⁄2" square
Finished block: 14-1⁄2" square
[You can get the free pattern at all people quilt. I did make one change to Linda’s quilt. I made mine into a sea turtle by adding eyes and a point to the “tail”.]
