Hi everyone,
I am making quilts for my boys for Christmas. They are 12 and 15, so I am making them twin size. I am going to also do one for my son in law, because he has made the comment that all of their quilts for the bed are feminine. My question, should I make it big enough for their bed (queen), or should I make it more of a throw. I can't ask my daughter too many questions, but I think they use them in their bedroom more than in the living room. I need to make it quite long because he is 6'4" - 6'6" and so I want it to be long enough.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Make a throw. The one thing that tall people can NOT buy is a throw that long enough. And make it at least 7 1/2 feet long. I always make throws for DD's teachers for Christmas. Last year her teacher was a 6' tall woman. I made a 7 1/2' throw and she was tickled to death!! She said it was the first time in her life that she could comfortably cover up on her couch.

I would make it queen sized as he specifically mentioned the bed. It will be more work, but I am sure he will appreciate it. How about a rich tan and brown Log Cabin like the one I made recently?
