    Our favorite quilts are about 65 x 85 inches - and they are in the living room - and someone is under one of them almost every night!

    I call them "couch size quilts"

    Your blocks are lovely - and if you started them for yourself - I think you should keep them for yourself

    Plus you could go to the party, scope out the house, and then make something for Christmas, and breathe easier in the meantime.

    Your hubby can be responsible for choosing the anniversary gift.

    I agree, you should keep those blocks for yourself, you can make up some simple design in a couch throw size in no time at all. Just don't use a complicated block. Even a 9 patch set with a plain block comes out a nice chain. Or a four patch with a triangle square. Think simple and go ahead and do it.
