I was going to recommend the same thing. I do this all the time. Gives me new looks without having to make larger quilts.

I make that size for wheelchair users . In homes they are colourful and individual to each person as well as easy to wash.

Smaller quilts are so nice to cuddle under this cold snowy winter while taking that nap while watching tv.

I don't make that size quilt. I make my lap quilts larger and my baby quilts and wall hangings are smaller. That's just me.

I have not been able to keep one myself yet... I have only made quilts to gift at this point. I have a long list of family and friends and lately a lot of expecting parents. I have made 4 baby boy quilts since Christmas.

Another idea especially for those who live in the north, you can hang the smaller quilts over your windows when temps drop below zero or you have some severe wind chill factors. It helps to block drafty widows and helps keep rooms warmer during such times. Keep a few smaller quilts in your car for emergency's. Use leftover scraps or batting scraps for fill in making a door draft stopper. Smaller quilts can be made and donated to the homeless shelters.

Sofa quilts made out of sarongs/odd fabrics act as covers to protect what's left of our worn leather couches from the hounds and felines which outnumber us. Quilts can be used everywhere, just made one out of worn out work clothes/and clothes that were to bad to be donated to charity as a back seat cover in one of our boys cars......their dog Mello sheds like crazy and the cheap dog cover they bought was next to useless.

Another thing you can make to get the practice on the different designs you like is a bed runner. It consists of a piece about 24" to 36" x width of your bed plus what you want to hang over the sides. The purpose of this is to have a plain color quilt or bedspread (I use white or cream) and place this at the foot of your bed to decorate. I like them

I can only use so many smaller quilts and was getting frustrated so I bought a long arm and now I make them king size. My solution to that problem!

My grandkids love the doll quilts I make for them. Now I make bed runner size that can also be used on the back of sofas or over chairs. Also baby size for showers.
No more bed size as I have enough.
