Best Baby Quilt Size? So, I’ve made a lot of baby quilts. It’s actually the only size quilt I’ve made so far. And recently I was talking to my sister about them and she suggested that I make the baby quilts rectangular so they fit a crib or toddler bed. She felt like they would get more use this way. I don’t have a crib so I looked it up on the internet and the suggested size for a crib quilt is 32 inches by 52 inches. This is one of the quilts I am working on right now and since having that discussion with my sister I decided I needed to add another row of 3 flowers (so it will be 3 x 4 flowers).

Thread: Lap quilt size? Mine are usually about 45 x 60, depending on the block size I use. But I believe originally they were about 36 square and intended to only cover your lap when you were sitting. I call mine lap quilts, but I guess actually the should be called comfort or couch quilts. Here is a link to usual sizes: http://quilting.suite101.com/article...for_your_quilt

how to calculate quilt measurements For the 9 patch quilt: The finished quilt measures 66 x 90 for the twin size. Each 9 patch block finishes at 6 and each sashing strip finishes at 2. Since you want the quilt to be at least 78 wide, you will need 12 extra inches. You would need 20 extra blocks (ten for each additional column) and then add in the sashing 2 finished x 2 strips.

Quilting Technique Discussions When I do a mini ( inches ) I use a single fold binding that I cut at 1 1/4 inches. But most quilts are larger quilts that I cut the binding at 21/4 inches. That is pretty universally used with all the quilters I know. I fold it in half and iron it, then you are working with 11/8 inches wide. Sew a quarter inch seam on the front to attach the binding stopping at each corner 1/4 inch from the end. Fold your corner and sew the next side. Once it's completely sewn on, fold it over to the back of the quilt and hand sew it in place. The binding will be about a 1/4 inch on each side of the quilt.

How do I figure out how much fabric I need to make a typical baby quilt? Help, please. One yard of fabric will give you between 28 to 35 - 6 inch squares depending on whether you wash it first and how long it is from selvidge to selvidge. If you are piecing half df the squares 3 yards should work just fine. 3 inch blocks are pretty small for a first time quilt, and as you can see, Marie's 6 inch blocks are pretty cute.

The original Jelly Roll Race method will get you a lap quilt about 50x 64.5. No changes necessary here unless you want a specific lap size – if so, see Custom Sizes below.

Baby Quilt FAQ I let the design dictate the size. My baby quilts are never larger than 43 wide so that I can use 45 wide material without a seam for the back (laziness on my part). Sometimes I do squares, other times I'll do a rectangle, so it's longer one way....but it almost always depends on the design of the quilt.

- For the sake of argument, you can reasonably expect to find decent quilt fabric in the $4-$6 yard range from some places. This still leaves wiggle room for a decent hourly wage and still have a baby quilt in the $100 range.Buying 3 yards of fabric at $4/yd versus 3 yards at $25 / yd is a huge difference. I only charged for materials used. 2  That is, I took the square area of the fabric in inches that was actually used in the quilt. 3  I then divided that number by the number of square inches in a yard of fabric that has a forty-two inch width, to determine the total yardage for each fabric.
