sizes
#3
The size seems to be a personal choice. I make mine just a little smaller than a twin size. I like to cover my body not just my lap. Check out some patterns and see what you like and who will be using it.

i make car robes, laprobes, baby quilts, and most wallhangings the same size... 45 x 54 because it is ONE queen size batt cut into 4 pcs, the backing can be 45" if you pay attention or have 60" fabric (no piecing) and the numbers are products of 9, which makes 9 inch blocks easy to do with a total of 9" in borders.... easy to design for...

ha! GMTA ... exactly what I was going to say.
Sizes ... I like one I can wrap right up in ... 50x70 or larger!
My OBW is only about 40x60 ... it seems so tiny in comparison. However, it's probably never going to be a "used" quilt, and more so a decorative one.
As you can see, it really depends on what size you want ....... as is oft said, there's no rules in quilting! do whatever works for you!
