Throw blanket size
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

When I make a throw blanket I like to have enough to tuck in all around when seated. That means to me that it comes up the chin with a bit left over and can tuck under my toes to keep them warm with a bit left over and plenty around the sides to tuck in and snuggle into.
So I guess that it depends on the height of the person who is receiving the item as to how big it is.

Hi. I think 59x66 is really a good size quilt. Lab size is good for a boy who is 12 yrs old. However, I make mine around that size you make yours. I've never measured mine, just guessed. Next one I make I will measure. Thanks for asking.

I like to make mine at least 72 inches long. Long enough to tuck your feet under but some patterns don't lend themselves to adding length. As far as width anywhere from 48 to 54, wider if the pattern dictates it.
