I don't even have a crib to check the size but I do have a brand new great granddau. born prematurely last Monday. Thank you.
The tute is at the front of this thread. If you have more questions you can ask again, but I don't have much more to add - the tute says it all.
Dolly, thanks for your answer. I saw the tute but didn't know if the same dementions worked for a quilt...I think the cut out square on the twin in the tute is 10 1/2 " square. That seems like too much for a crib????
Oh, my yes, you don't cut out that much for a crib size sheet. You are only cutting out that much because you are basing the cut on the twin size fitted sheet measurements. Basically you need to cut out the squares in the corners equal to the depth of the sides of the mattress and the amount of "tuck under" that you want. The 10 1/2 inches was based on a 7 inch deep mattress and a 3 inch tuck under with 1/2 inch seam allowance. You need to measure the crib mattress and cut different corners out for that.
