    I would contact the charity you are going to donate them to. Many have preferred sizes.

    I usually go about 40 x 40 or so. I try to stick to the width of the fabric as one side so I don't have to piece the backing and can use regular fabric on the back. But mine are more like quilts/playmats. Stroller type quilts could be smaller.

    I'm doing NICU for ANNAQUILTS, she takes all sizes form 15 x 15 on up. contact her or the organization and see what size they prefer. some re very strict as to what they wil take, so be careful.

    As others have stated, I would check to what size and fabric content an organization requires with accepting quilts.
