Child and Teen sized blankets should measure between a 4.5 foot wide BY 5 foot long rectangle and a twin sized blanket.
Making Quilt Blocks
Quilt blocks must measure 6 inches on all FOUR sides. All blocks must be uniform in that they do not contain a back, nor batting. None of which can be any other shape then a square. Please be creative, and use colorful pieces of fabric. Crazy Blocks are fine! There are millions of free patterns throughout the internet, and books. If you need a specific pattern, please do not hesitate to contact the founder, Samantha DeMato, as she may have a pattern you are looking for (or at least know of a good book or two).
