Throw blanket size
#12
Hi. I'm finishing up a quilt for my grandson who is 12. Right now the finished size, if I don't add border to increase size, will be approximately 59"x66". It looks small when it's laid out, but I think it's s good lap quilt size. What size do you all tend to make your throws?
Thanks
Thanks
If you want a one pattern quilt, make 24 - 12" blocks - 4 across, six down, with a four inch border - makes it 56x80
I use Quilter's Cache for my blocks - they come in different sizes, so you can make the blocks larger or smaller (meaning more or less blocks. Good luck and have fun.....and Happy New Year!!! Edie

It certainly does depend on the height of the user. When I made one for my son-in-law, I made it 95 inches long because he is 7 ft tall. Needless to say, that throw took twice as long to sew and quilt. But it was a labor of love.
