I’m looking at making a quilt for my 8 year old this year and I have a few questions. I’m trying to keep costs down, but also make something nice for her. I’m thinking I’ll go with Apex 5oz. What I’m not sure about are the dimensions for a kid size quilt. She’s pretty average for her age (I can’t remember her exact height as I write this, I know she’s a size 10 in clothes). But I’m not sure how much wiggle room to give her as far as quilt width goes. Also if I do a drawstring foot on the quilt, how much length should I plan on losing there? I think I want it long enough that she can pull the quilt over her head if needed, for warmth and also to give her a couple more years before it will have to be handed down to baby sister.
I’d love to hear from others who have made kid size quilts.
