Blanket Sizes
Project Linus donates blankets to children, infants through teens. You may consider using these guidelines:
Blankets may be delivered to neonatal units who treat premature infants. A very small blanket (12”X12” or 12”x18”) can easily wrap a premature baby. A slightly larger blanket (30”x40” or 36”x36”) can be used to cover the entire bassinet.
Pre-printed panel quilts make excellent baby quilts and they are very easy to finish. They are already made of quilted fabric
so all they need is a binding sewn around the edge. One yard of fabric (36”x36” or 36”x42”) makes an acceptable sized baby quilt.
- Toddler through Pre-teen Blankets
An averaged sized blanket is 40”x60”. A cut of fabric is usually 40-42” wide—so 1 2/3 yards (60”) of a 40-42” wide fabric is the perfect size for a blanket.
- Teen-sized Blankets—In order for a blanket to be comfortable for a teenager, it needs to be at least two yards (72”) in length. Since polar fleece is 50” wide, a 2-yard piece of fleece makes a nice blanket for a teenager.
