Make a list of everything you need to take on the day and tick off as you pack it.

WHAT ARE THE MEASUREMENTS OF BASSINETS AND COTS FOR QUILTS a bassinet (well Emerson’s) measures 30 inches (length) x 17 inches (wide) 1 charm square sewn up makes a quilt with a finished size about 25 x 29inches without borders. I like to use this on bassinets and prams. 2 charm square packs make a quilt 44 inches (length) x 33 inches but of course this changes depending on how many square you
