I am wanting to make a crib sized rag quilt and cannot find my "go-to" pattern. I found my regular sized rag quilt pattern which reads to make an 8" block (7" finished).
Would you make a 5" finished block for a baby quilt or what? How many squares wide and long?

I'm in the middle of working on one for my baby, but I'm just winging it as far as size. My blocks will be 5" when finished - they're laying on the floor right now at 8 squares by 11 squares and it looks about right to me. I made crib sheets a couple months ago and if I recall correctly, the standard size of a crib mattress is something like 52"x36" so that's probably a good guide to shoot for.

I made her another one when she was 10 so made it a little larger. Really, there is no wrong way to do them. I just wanted it to be a good scale for a baby quilt. thanks! m |
