Actually, the previous person had posted, "I WOULD GO 48x42 SHE CAN ALWAYS TUCK IT IN AROUND HER LEGS AND BODY. BUT QUILTS JUST DON'T STRECH MUCH. Oh poo just noticed I had cap lock on! LOL"
There was no mention of tucking the quilt 'under' but rather 'in around,' which I took to mean to push down toward the seat, not under the person.

I also agree that it depends upon the size of the person being covered.
