Baby Quilt Size
The standard baby quilt size is 30" x 40" which is perfect for a newborn. A baby quilt that will cover a crib mattress would need to be 36" x 52". (The standard crib mattress size is regulated by the Federal government. The minimum crib mattress size is 27-1/4” x 51-5/8”. )Although those are standard sizes, a baby quilt can be any size from 30" x 40" all the way up to 52" x 52". An in-between size like 45" x 48" is large enough to fit in a crib but can also be used in a car seat or stroller or even just to lay on the floor to play on.
Square baby quilts are also common and a baby quilt that is 40" to 42" square can use a 44" wide fabric for the back.
