Crib quilts: Safe to Sleep: keep quilts and blankets out of a baby’s sleep area until age 1. Use a crib quilt as a play mat or wall hanging.

Finished size, width × length, for each drop on three sides. Second line: with a 20 in pillow tuck. Deep or pillow-top mattress: add its extra height to the drop. On a wide screen the drops are side by side; swipe sideways if they do not fit.

How quilt size is calculated
Width is the mattress width plus the drop on both sides. Length is the mattress length plus the drop at the foot, plus the pillow tuck if you want the quilt to go over and under the pillows. Crib quilts are a fixed size with no drop. Measure your own mattress if you can: thickness and brands vary.
Batting package sizes
Batting should be bigger than the quilt top, like the backing. We look for the smallest package that covers the quilt plus the extra on every side, turning the package if needed, and tell you when the next size down only just misses.

Fat quarter and fat eighth sizes
A fat quarter is a quarter yard cut wide: half a yard long and half the fabric width. Sizes vary a little after the selvages come off. To count fat quarters for your pieces, use the fat quarter part of the quilt calculator.
| Pre-cut | Size |
|---|---|
| Fat quarter | 18 × 21 in45.7 × 53.3 cm |
| Fat eighth | 9 × 21 in22.9 × 53.3 cm |
Fleece tie blanket sizes and yardage
A no-sew tie blanket uses two layers of fleece the same size. Cut a 4 in square from each corner and 4 in deep fringe on all four sides, then knot the top and bottom strips together. The knots take up the fringe, so the finished blanket is about 8 in smaller than the fabric in each direction. Fleece is sold 58 to 60 in wide, so every blanket here comes out about 48 to 50 in wide, depending on how much selvage you trim.

The blanket names are our labels for common sizes, not an industry standard. A blanket wider than about 50 in needs extra-wide fleece or a seam.
Questions and answers
What size is a queen quilt?
About 84 × 92 in (Fat Quarter Shop and APQS with a 12 in drop) to 90 × 95 in (Missouri Star). It covers a 60 × 80 in mattress with a 12 in drop on three sides.
What size is a king quilt?
Between 100 × 92 in (APQS, 12 in drop), 108 × 95 in (Missouri Star) and 98 × 106 in (Fat Quarter Shop), for a 76 × 80 in mattress.
What size is a throw quilt?
About 48 × 66 in (Fat Quarter Shop) or 50 × 65 in (Missouri Star). A throw is not made for a bed, so there is no drop.
Why do quilt size charts disagree?
Each chart assumes a different drop (how far the quilt hangs down) and some add a pillow tuck. Measure your mattress, choose your drop and use the calculator above.
What size is a crib quilt, and can a baby sleep under it?
Crib quilts are about 36 × 36 in to 36 × 52 in. Safe to Sleep (NIH, based on AAP guidance) says to keep quilts and blankets out of a baby's sleep area; use a crib quilt as a play mat or wall hanging until your child is at least 1.
What batting size do I need for a queen quilt?
For 84 × 92 in with 4 in extra per side you need at least 92 × 100 in, so Warm & Natural King (120 × 124 in). Some queen packages are only 90 in wide.
How much fleece do I need for a tie blanket?
For a blanket about 50 × 60 in, 2 yd of each of two fleeces (both layers), assuming 4 in fringe and 58 in usable width.
