The two "baby" quilts I've made have been about 36 x 45. I plan on doing my "drag around" blankets this size for a few reasons... I can usually get queen-sized batting at a good price, and I can cut one into six pieces for this size quilt. It's an easy size to carry around and lay on/under for most little kids. It's also a good size for kid picnics, tea parties, etc. And it's a good size for using in the car.
Another bonus-- I can buy one yard for my backing fabric, and just adjust the length to the width of that fabric.

We have 15 swappers - one more and we will have no duplicates in the swap! Glad to have as many as we do - as I said earlier, I was afraid holiday plans would cut down on the amount of swappers. Happy to have all of you!

I'm looking forward to see the kind of fabrics everyone else has.

I like giving some different ways to make I Spy quilts - I like this Disappearing 9 Patch - a way to stretch the amount of I Spy squares needed.

I like how the borders separate the colors in this quilt.

I usually just sew my squares together with no sashing. I like the "chaotic" look. This one is a "find the pairs" I Spy, with two of each print scattered throughout. It's an 8 x 10 layout (80 squares of 40 pairs) and comes out about 37 x 47" after binding.
