square quilt??
Do you ever make quilts for adults that are square rather than rectangular? My future DIL has picked out a pattern that works up to be almost perfectly square, which wasn't obvious by the picture she was looking at.

I have a lot of quilts that my Mother-in-law made that are square. I love them all.
|
Actually, most of my quilts turn out as squares. Lap, throws, king and queen/full. The only ones that don't are ones made especially for bed runners or twins. But do what you want. Size is your choice.
|
If you want it rectangle instead of square, there are usually ways to add either additional squares or additional borders just on the ends.
|
What will work out well for the intended purpose?
|
I think it will probably be used on the back of the couch, so I suppose square would be fine. Just hadn't thought of quilts being square.
|
Most of my throws are square, around 60" to 64". You can use them straight to cover your legs like a lap quilt and if you want to totally cover up, use them on the diagonal.

I much prefer square to rectangular. I think square quilts look nicer and most of my quilts are square or nearly square. It is like having a favorite color. There is no right or wrong, just a preference!

I made an 82" square quilt that I made for my Daughter.
It is called Union Square by Lynette Jensen. A full size and a close up. |
I have some square quilts I put on the guest bed. I put them on the bed "on point" and the blanket underneath adds a layer of color and texture and I really like the way it looks.
