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

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.

Enjoy your project.

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?
