I keep this chart on my QB blog so I always know where it is: http://www.quiltingboard.com/blogs/b...rt-b12736.html

I think there may be some confusion because the word cot means different things in different countries. In the US we usually think of a folding bed that an adult can sleep on. In some other countries a cot is a bed for a baby.

Dunster is correct about the various meanings of the word "cot." When I make baby quilts, I think in terms of the size of the baby mattress, and I subtract 6"-8" from the length. That said, the more powerful determinant of the finished quilt size has to do with the pattern I'm making.
There's a nice discussion of baby quilt sizes here: https://www.quiltinaday.com/communit...=2&topic=22202

Thank you, gee lots of people make them different sizes, I think I will go by what my panel says. Sorry I live in Australia, and we call them bassinettes, cots and single beds, double beds, and of course Queen size beds. I keep forgetting that other countries call them different names. I am sorry

keep in mind that babies should not have any blanket in their bed a floor quilt or play mat is best for tummy time!
