If it is quilted, it is a quilted wall hanging.
This idea of finding a pattern you really like and then find it is a wall hanging and only gives size and directions for a wall hanging is completely absurd to me.
Yes, some are quite beautiful, but they are still not quilts, they are wall hangings.
There, I finally got that out of my system. I hope somebody agrees with me.
Sorry, no can do. I have hung full sized quilts on the wall for display. Does this make them less of a quilt?
And even I, who am totally left-brained and not at all creative, can figure out how to enlarge or add on to a smaller-sized pattern to make the final piece fit the bed. If I like the pattern, it doesn't matter what size the directions call for, it can always be made bigger, either by enlarging the pieces or adding complimentary borders and/or sashing.
