This is 60x60 and needs a batting, backing and quilting. Baby appears to be overdue.... as the due date was last Tuesday and I have not heard anything yet. Each block is 10 inches finished. I hope my niece and her hubby like it. I found it much easier to wash a quilt than a carpet while the baby is on the floor playing. Aidan's monster quilt got washed about every other day for a few years. Still makes me smile when I see it on his bed. His is 60x60 as well..... my little 6 ft tall baby boy! Not bad for 16 years of usage. I hope this one gets as much use as his got.
To verify the block would come out to the correct size, I cut a 6.5 inch square from a couple of grey 10 inch squares and then some 2.5 inch strips and made 2 each of 2.5x6.5 and 2 each of 2.5x10.5. It worked.... and I might have started a new quilt. Oops! I have had a stack of neutral 10 inch squares - lots of greys, browns, black and beige. Maybe these will be the black and greys with colors surrounding it for a throw? We will see what happens.

That's a great design for a quick baby quilt! I love the dinosaur print and coordinating colors. Even if the baby is born by the time you gift it, the family will get tons of use out of it!
always nice to get another baby quilt done and before the baby comes is a plus!
Nice cute baby quilt--wondered where you where going with the dinosaur fabric--babies have their own time table--daughter was 2 weeks late and son was 3 weeks late!!! And both were Wednesday deliveries--thought that funny too!!
It sure is humid here in Florida right now and I bet even though you are further north than me-you are still hotter there--so keep cool!!
hugs, di
Neat baby quilt--I agree that washing a quilt is so much easier than the rug hahaha
So very humid and hot here these days, I just don't have any energy despite our AC...Oh for those crisp, clear Fall days.....
Hugs, Julierose
It looks great and I’m sure it will be much loved and well used.
