Are your quilts smaller?
#33
I haven't really changed size much either, but I make a lot for LINUS and so, they are/were smaller ones anyways....and I am using all I can of stash, have not bought any new fabric in ages and ages.........
I was in a consignment shop today and saw a pretty,lap size one (stars pattern) and it looked brand new, and the price tag was for $40.00.............I think that maybe is a big high, for a small one, in a consigment shop, but I think I am gonna try putting some in there and see what happens..........anybody got any suggestions for places to put quilts for sale?

No it hasn't cause I have quite a stash. But what has changed the size of the quilts I am making is a new mattress. With them being deeper, they need to be wider to cover at least the top mattress. Last year I actually pulled out 7 quilt tops in the closet and enlarged them with borders.

How would you make a quilt bigger?
I have been making mine bigger due to requests...I have been making borders with left over materials from my blocks. They come out great...I agree with the mattress size is an issue...I am also thinking of trying to make a few larger since they no longer cover the mattress. I am trying not to buy any fabric this year...using only my stash so this also makes me more creative in my thinking. Its actually quite fun and using materials that I would not normally use for my project.
