How large should a quilt be for a 5 year old?
Hi, I need to make quilts for a 5 year old and a 3 year old. I don't want to make a bed sized quilt just something that they can cuddle with for a few years. Any recommendations on the size I should make?

for that size i usually do 65-70" x fabric width or sometimes a tad longer and wider if they are taller than usual
ETA: for a 3 yo (i didn't see earlier sorry) i usually do 60xfabric width. so it's not super heavy but they don't outgrow it super quick either

I have twin 3 1/2 year old grandsons and when I made their quilts, I made them 60"x60". I didn't want to make baby quilts because I didn't think they would be able to use them very long. My daughter says they fit on their beds, but they're not too big to drag around.
It should be at least a few years before I have to make bigger ones!

I usually do like the others have said.... but my great niece asked me if I could add on to hers as she got bigger So now I wish I would have made it a little bigger (no I did not add on to her quilt, just made her another one)
