Nope. I make the size that I need. No point in making a lap size if what you need is a twin coverlet. I am making my last oversized queen quilt. My mom is the only one with a queen sized bed now, so this quilt would only fit on her bed or as a bedspread for my own full sized (but extra high) bed. My siblings live in old houses where queen sized beds wouldn't fit through stairways. My cousin is the only one with a king sized bed, but I only make them lap quilts. My cousin's GF is a wonderful woman, but she really likes coordinated stuff. I'd rather she chose a commercial blanket in that case. She keeps the lap quilts in an ottoman and they pull them out all the time to use. Where I could see the economy making a difference is the number of quilts sent to be quilted as opposed to quilting or tying yourself. An increasing number are also focusing on using stash and buying only to supplement while making a project. I know that is what I will be doing the rest of the year.
