I prefer to make large throws---the men in my family are all over 6 feet--so we like 'em long! Most of my quilts are 60X80", give or take a few inches. This is easily manageable on your machine. A throw quilt is about as practical as it gets--they get used the most of any quilt I make.
This is about the size I like - I call them "couch quilts" - big enough to cover most people (all over) - and small enough to be able to get through the machine. Also, fairly manageable to wash and dry.
