Quilt Batting & Precut Batting Squares

Choosing the right size of batting for quilts is as crucial as selecting the perfect blend. While it's often purchased in standard precut sizes, it's important to understand that you need to adjust the size based on your quilt pattern's specifications. Here's a quick guide to help you make the best decision:

• Crib Size: Typically measuring 45 inches by 60 inches, this size is ideal for small quilts and baby blankets.
• Twin Size: With standard dimensions of 72 inches by 90 inches, it's perfect for twin-size bed quilts or slightly larger lap quilts.
• Full Size: Usually measures around 81 inches by 96 inches, making it an excellent choice for full or double-bed quilts.
• Queen Size: Coming in at 90 inches by 108 inches, it's the right size for queen-size bed quilts.
• King Size: The largest standard size, typically 120 inches by 120 inches, is used for king-size bed quilts.
• Runner or Wall Hanging Size: These are usually smaller and can vary widely in size. The best option is to buy a package of batting a few inches larger than the finished piece and cut it down to size.
• Precut Square Sizes: These precut squares are size around common quilt block sizes and are ideal for quilt-as-you-go projects, where you piece and quilt each quilt block individually before joining them.

Remember, the ideal quilt batting size will be slightly larger than your quilt top to allow for quilting and to account for any possible shrinkage during the washing process. We typically recommend adding an extra 5-inches of batting on all sides of your quilt, which adds a total of 10-inches to the height and width of your quilt for the batting size.
