Do you try to make your quilt sizes coincide with bed sizes? Or do your quilts just end up as big as the end up?
So far I have only attempted to make lap throws and baby blankets but my general rule of thumb is to make the quilt a little smaller than the batting I intend to use. That way I don't have this huge pile of left over pieces of batting.
