My husband and 2 sons are 6'4" and 6'5", so when I make a lap quilt they want it long enough to cover from their shoulder to their size 13 feet!! I tend to make LONG lap quilts :shock: :lol:

This website has the measurements for all quilts, but I don't think it's written in stone that a quilt has to be those exact measurements.

As you can see, I think it depends on what you decide to do with it. I found other sites and the sizes all over the place. There is definitely nothing cut in stone, it is all of to you.

That's my gauge too - or if I run out of steam and I just want to be done.

I'm with the "depends on the size of the lap" bunch. I made one last year for a tall nephew who was getting married and made it long enough to cover him and wide enough to snuggle with his new bride! :wink:
