I have all sizes from wall hangings (which are so much fun because usually they are applique and I love applique) to king size but I seem to have quite a few lap sizes around. I give a lot of lap size quilts as gifts so people can snuggle up in them. I have never made a bed size quilt for anyone but my kids...wouldn't know what colors or designs they would like to look at on their beds for a long time. So I guess lap is a good size for me. So I agree with you. They are more versatile and are great gifts!
