Oh, I am so glad to read this rant!!! I thought I was the only one who felt this way. BTW, I love the term wall warmer!!!!!
When I am doing a quilt I want it to grace a bed.......like it was originally designed to do!!!!! I do admit I have made three wallwarmers.....and several tablerunners, but my real "love" is bed quilts........and it is frustrating to try to figure out how many more blocks, spaces, sashes to add to a pattern to make it bed size...and then to try to figure out how much fabric...and today that is important what with the cost of the fabric.........I am thinking I will email the various mags I do occasionally buy and comment on the need to show specs for various sizes......like you say, who wants to go thru the trouble for something 30" x 30" - unless, of course, one is a fabric artist...I am not, I am an old fashioned quilter.......thanks for letting me rant a bit too.......
