I love making all sizes of quilts but I often forget the right size for the quilt I need. So I created this printable standard quilt sizes chart that also includes a range for quilts from crib quilt to king size! This is a great reference for quilters – just print it out and keep it handy.

These printables are pretty enough to put on your sewing room wall for quick reference! Print them out on nice paper for a great gift for beginner quilters. Most pre-cut batting sizes are similar to these standard quilt sizes so creating different sizes is easy.
You can make your quilts however big or small you want, but these quilt measurements are handy when you are sewing for a specific purpose, such as for a new baby or a twin size bed! Use your own personal preference with these charts for your homemade quilts. The finished size of your quilt will change slightly after taking it to a long arm machine and adding a binding. You can use borders to manipulate the finished size of different quilt patterns.

- Baby quilt sizes can range even more since some are designed for tummy time or play mats and others are designed to grow with the child

*Mini quilts and wall hangings can range from tiny to super large so I didn’t include measurements for those – it’s totally up to you!
*California king quilts can be made using the standard king size. A King size bed is 4 inches shorter and 4 inches wider than a Calfornia king bed, so you can adjust accordingly if needed.
