LindaB,
Thank you for your concern. We've chosen this size because the quilts will go on the soldiers' cots in the barracks as a way to add color into their very beige-drab environment in the western desert of Afghanistan. Quilts are not so much needed as a warm covering in this case, but as a hug and comfort from Americans at home. We are looking for very simple, colorful quilts with thin batting (Quilters Dream Request is perfect though expensive. And if you even just send a top, we'll see it completed and shipped on. I intend to ship the first packages with in 7-8 weeks or less, and continue on as long as we receive quilts.
Also, make yours any size you wish, definitely!!
Thank you!
