I created the Arlie keepsake quilt option especially for toddlers, but it is not limited to toddlers. The patches are larger than my standard quilts at 8" (7.5" when they are sewn in), therefore the clothes going into it need to be big enough to make an 8" patch. That is usually from around 18 months plus but can include older children and adult clothes too.
I have decided to make this a DIY size meaning you pick the number of patches so it is perfect for the space it will go into. I will need at least half the number of items for the number of patches so I can use front and back of each item. For example, a 4 x 6 quilt is 24 patches and will need between 12 and 24 items.
Use the drop-down arrow to pick your size. The exact size may vary.
4 x 4 = 16 Patches (30” x 30” or 76cm x 76cm)
4 x 6 = 24 Patches (30” x 45” or 76cm x 114cm)
5 x 5 = 25 Patches (37.5” x 37.5” or 95cm x 95cm)
5 x 7 = 35 Patches (37.5” x 52.5” or 95cm x 133cm)
6 x 6 = 36 Patches (45” x 45” or 114cm x 114cm)
6 x 8 = 48 Patches (45” x 60” or 114cm x 152cm)
7 x 7 = 49 Patches (52.5” x 52.5” or 133cm x 133cm)
7 x 9 = 63 Patches (52.5” x 67.5” or 133cm x 171cm)
8 x 8 = 64 Patches (60” X 60” or 152cm x 152cm)
8 x 10 = 80 Patches (60” x 75” or 152cm x 190cm)
