I love that it is so easy to pull together the fabrics – grab a stack of fat quarters, 8 for a the crib quilt, and a light and a dark background. My most popular fat quarter pattern, Meander, also has a crib size. Her petals are cut our with pinking shears and then sewn down with straight stitching about 3/8 ” in from the edge and the she allowed the raw edges to fray adding a fun texture to the quilt. She made the larger size and, if you look closely at her quilt, there is a little farm humor in there are well- the blocks have rabbits and chickens, the first border looks like fencing and the outer border has foxes! Hmmm…. Makes sense she is an organic vegetable farmer! This pattern doesn’t get as much love as I would like but it is super cute! Designed by me and my daughter, her version uses fabrics with a farm theme.
What more could you ask of a crib quilt pattern?Īnd you can even make 2 quilts with the fat quarters- you have enough leftover for a small quilt- perfect for the car!

I don’t often need to make a baby quilt but I do have a few “go-to” patterns that I use when I have to make one. That’s a lot of baby quilts! Favorite Crib Quilts I actually have 31 patterns with sizes that can be used as crib or baby quilts! My smallest crib quilt is 34″ x 42″ and the largest is 47″ x 60″. Why are my crib size quilts all different sizes? Because I base it on the pattern design and the size of the blocks for that pattern. Others use crib quilts for when the baby is not in the crib so it can be any size. So how big should a crib quilt be? Some like a crib quilt fairly small- 36″ x 48″ so it just rests on top of the mattress. But… not everyone likes that! A few of my patterns have a baby quilt size, usually listed as a crib, but the sizes are all over the map!Ī crib mattress is about 28″ x 52″ and a crib batting is usually 45″ x 60″. I personally like a good size baby quilt so it can stay relevant and useful as the child grows. Makes one want to hunker down, grab a cup of coffee and … get sewing!
