Hello! We use thin to medium batting (not high-loft). Machine quilting is preferred, and machine quilting is required on all infant and toddler size quilts (our agencies request that the smaller quilts are not tied). If you tie a child or teen size quilt, please use cotton crochet thread only, no yarn, no embroidery floss. The cotton crochet thread easiest to use is #10 weight, like Aunt Lydia’s. Please double the thread on the needle (no knots on the needle) then go in and out of the quilt sandwich twice, in a small x or cross or T pattern. Leave at least 2 inches on each tail. Tie the tails together in two knots, then trim the tails to about
1 1/2 inches. Please place the ties no more than 6 inches apart on a quilt. If you have questions please email us at Info@azblankets4kids.com. Thank you!
Hi Loanne! Once the binding is added, it should make it to 40″, but we would still categorize it as Teen size if it was 39″. Thank you for visiting us!
What thickness batting do you use and do you quilt them or tie?

This pattern is easy but does not qualify for up to teen when the size is 39” instead of 40”
