What's the size (in inches or feet) of a crib/baby blanket or quilt?
My county fair has a category for these blankets that, after the fair’s over, they are donated to a program that helps kids who’ve been traumatized. I think it’s a great idea, and I’d love to make one! My fair book says to make them crib/baby sized…. I need to know what size that is. Thank you!

The ones we make for the Quilts For Kids program

are about 38×45, but that doesn’t have to be exact…
This is the one they’ve been sending out kits for, it’s super easy

A typical newborn blanket is 36" x 36" but a crib mattress measures approximately 27" X 52". Keep in mind the size of the age group you are targeting and do at least 12" longer than the child would be tall.
