Be Kind Quilts

The quilts in this pattern are designed to use fat quarters and wide strips (scraps, anyone?) to make quilts in multiple sizes.   For the purpose of these quilt directions, we will be using the following approximate sizes.

Baby  – 36″ × 42″  or 42″ × 48″ (no more than 42″ wide or long)

• Sized so that it can be finished pillowcase style, then tied with ribbon or floss. To finish using the pillowcase method:  place the quilt top right side up, place the backing on top of the quilt top with right sides together (the wrong side of the backing facing up); place the batting on top of the backing.  Sew around all four sides, leaving an opening for turning.  Turn the whole thing inside out, trapping the batting inside the quilt.  Hand sew or machine sew the opening closed.  Tie to secure all layers.

Lap – no larger than 52″ × 52″

• Sized to fit half of a 108″ wide backing,  then tied with ribbon or floss. Here is an article on how to tie your quilt to finish it.

Twin  – 54″ – 60″ wide, no more than 78″ long

• Sized to fit a backing of (2) 42″ wide fabrics sewn horizontally, with extra for quilting. Here is an article on Machine Quilting Basics.

Queen  – no more than 78″ wide, 90″ to 95″ long, 

• Sized to fit a backing of (2) 42″ wide fabrics sewn vertically, with extra for quilting.

King –  100″ × 100″ 

• no more than 102 wide so it will fit 108″ wide backing.
