I make quilts for wounded soldiers and they are twin size and smaller. Although I live in the south, it gets cold and wet in the winter. We like "couch" or "cuddle " quilts for watching TV in the evenings. My husband is 6'-5" and I kept measuring him in his recliner while adding strips to HIS quilt. It ended up being twin size to be long enough when he curled up under it. It was funny, I just kept adding and adding and he kept smiling. It is a disappearing 9 patch patter in shades of browns from my stash. He really loves that quilt. He was glad to get something from all the mess and ravelings. He's still smiling.
