Baby quilt

Can anyone help? I want to make a baby quilt for a friend - the cot
mattress is 131cm x 68cm.

so how big do I make the quilt?

Advice would be appreciated, Jan

This converts to approximately 27 x 52 inches. Make the quilt that size or
slightly smaller.

I usually make them 45in x 60 in. Good size for a baby quilt. HTH, Linda

I agree with Nana2b ...This is a good size ...45 x 60... since crib quilts
are quickly outgrown....my 3 1/2 year old DDGD is determined to sleep with
her baby quilt which was meant as a coverlet for her BASSINET!!!! her head
and shoulders and knees and toes stick out....is that where the song came
from????
I need to make one too what pattern are you making?

I generally make baby quilts around 45x60 inches. Big enough to be on
the floor for "tummy time", big enough for a child to curl up in, big
enough to be a fort (think of a small table covered with a quilt -
sides hanging down for a private spot.

130 cm square - it will give lots to tuck under (*very* helpful!!) and it
will make a nice snuggle quilt when the baby moves on to a single bed

though speaking from personal experience ... the larger size will fit the
top end of a single bed if the child won't part with it like my oldest DS

I have the curse of the quilter's daughter. Sofi refuses to sleep under
a quilt or covered at all! Wish I could tuck her in, but she just sleeps
on top of things... actually, she has not given much use to her quilts
at all! (

Does she sleep on her tummy with her little butt up in the air? My boys
did that. It's so cute.

If it's any comfort, the two of my boys who stubbornly refused to sleep
under a blanket as babies are now the ones who can't sleep unless
they're cocooned in quilts.

yes, she does that.... most of the time. she is all over the crib
actually, in a different position everytime we check on her.. so covers
would get in her way!
