Because babies an not supposed to have blankets or other snugly items in their crib until they can roll over, I do not make crib sized quilts. Mine are often 40X40 or there about. It will often depend on the pattern. This first special quilt does often become that old friend that eventually becomes a shredded rag, soI keep the larger quilt for when a special baby moves into the big kid bed.

I just dropped one at the long armers. Mine is 40 x 40. I'll post it when I get it back.

I believe crib size is considered to be 45X 60". The ones I liked for my grandchildren were about 42" square--wof. I like the smaller size when they are cuddle size kids. The others are too big for the smaller child and when they are still on your lap.--my opinion.

All of my SusyBee panel quilts for Project Linus are 36 x 40. This makes me think I should make some that are larger for toddlers and young pre-teens. Interesting post.

42x42 so I can use the width of the fabric for backing.

My most recent crib quilt was 45 x 60 for my grand daughter.

I like to use a width of fabric for the backing (no piecing needed) so my baby quilts are usually about 40x55
