    I buy 1 1/3 yard for the backing, and size the top to fit.
    if you want the quilt to fit a toddler bed, it should be a bit bigger.

    I make mine 40 inches square. It seem to be a size that works for me.

    The last time I made a baby quilt, I made it the size of the crib mattress. Not sure what the measurements were, but I believe atleast 60 long. My thought was that once the baby got out of the crib and then into the toddler bed it would be big enough to to use the big bed bedding.

    I make my baby quilts 45 x 60 for the simple reason that is the size of the pkg of batting I buy!

    THAT is a GOOD idea :lol: makes alot of sense :lol:

    I make loads of baby blankets, so I buy a king size batt, it makes 4 crib blankets... saves a few dollars.

    I bought a king size batting last time. Haven't cut into it yet. I've still got 4 pkg's of crib size. :-)
