I remember the first quilt I made was from a wall quilt. I added many squares to make the quilt twin size. I had no idea about how to figure the amount of fabric I'd need. I did not get enough of one fabric that I needed and searched the Internet for days to find more of it. I still find myself enlarging patterns as the quilts I make for my daughters need to be king size and the patterns I like usually are not that large. Life would be much simpler if the patterns I like came in king size. Another complaint is patterns that say "king size" and wouldn't cover even the top of a king size bed. I just finished one that is not quite queen size. Now I have learned to look at the dimensions of the finished quilt, not what the designer calls it.
