I'm making a baby quilt for a crib. What size should it be? My squares are 12x12?

Shar

Should I have 3 12x12 squares by 4 12 x 12 squares or should I make it bigger?

Answer
That sounds like a reasonable size, but if you want to be sure, measure the crib and realize that binding will add a few inches all around. If you use thick batting, the puffiness will make the quilt smaller in dimensions after it is quilted or hand tied.

Quilting? Learning the basics?

I want to make one for my baby when it gets here so I dont have time for elaborate details. I know what i want to do as far as pattern and color goes but i still need help with borders and stitching. Im going to hand stitch because i want it to be more personal and i dont like sewing machines. I know a simple stitch, enough to make a pillow or sew on a patch. Any help?
