I would like to know what size you make them, too. And is there an organization that tells you what size to make and gives you the do's and don't's for making preemie quilts? I am interested in doing this, but don't know where to start.
Thanks

Adorable. Those tiny little folks will look adorable and stay warm under quilts that are scaled just right for them.

Hello, these tiny quilts are between 25x25" and 35x35": 60x60 cm bis 90x90 cm!
I prefer 28x28" : 72x72 cm, because of the width of the batting over here: there fit two of these little quilts side by side and so there is not so much waste!
And yes, I am sewing for the preemiequilt action: https://preemiequilts-europe.blogspot.com/
They have some hospitals to which they take these quilts. in Germany, Austria and Netherlands!! Till now over 10.000 were sewn and donated!
They have guidelines for these quilts: how big, only new and cotton fabric, poly batting, not so much stitching and quilting...
And it is so much fun to sew these preemiequilts, it's quick and one can use up the scraps!

I donated my quilts to a hospital in Ohio and they requested the size of 38 x 38 up to 40 x 40
