Well, I learned early on in quilting (started 4 years ago after retiring from teaching) that I look at the pattern and then "fix" it so it fits the bed I want it to fit. I don't think that I have made any quilt the way that it was designed. I add additional sashings on the bottom or on the sides to make it fit the way that I need it for the bed that "needs" it. Sometimes there is only one size listed and I figure out how to add an extra row of blocks across the quilt or add to the top or bottom. And like those who have posted, I don't like square quilts either.
