Do You Make Quilts to Use on Top of Your Beds?
I have seen quilts used as "bedspreads" on twin-size beds only. I have king-size and a queen-size beds in my home. I'd like to show off my quilts by using them on top of the sheets and blankets. On the quilts I have made so far, they extend just a few inches over the mattress, so they are not large enough to use as a bedspread.
* Do you use quilts in this way?
* If so, how large do you recommend for a king-size or queen-size quilt that will be used on top of the bed?
* Do you have any problem with fitting a large quilt onto a longarm machine or in the washing machine?
