While that may be the traditional shape of a quilt, and perhaps what works for you, not so for all!!
I have found that I have been opting for square quilts more and more as they give lots of drop on the sides, as well as the pillow tuck and end drop.

Plus when two are sleeping together, it gives the extra width for the quilt-wars.
Which really, isn't that the issue MaryKatherine is facing here?
