Are they wall hangings?
#1
I have see many quilt patterns that I just love to make and they are always made with a directional design and they don't fit a wide bed.
They are long from top to bottom and may fit on a single bed and look fine. I can make it and fit it on the queen size bed, but it has to go sideways. Now the pattern in going across the bed. I made both of these quilts, saying they were for a queen size bed and they fit, but sideways....
I will really have to think about this next time I see a pattern I love. I will have to re-design it to fit my bed.... They are not just to ang on a wall...

many times patterns are designed to (fit the blocks)
if you look through historical pictures a quilt fit the top of a bed---they did not include over hang---
(we) have decided we want the overhang on our quilts and have to adjust our patterns to make that work- either by making more blocks-expanding the design- or add borders-
back in the day- a quilt with an overhang was not a quilt- it was a bedspread
