We are a TALL family. (son is 6'8", DH 6'5"). A throw would cover my lap but then my shoulders would be cold so--I make twin and beyond.. Usually turn out to be queen sized. I want a quilt to go up to my chin and be able to wrap it around my toes. I also hand quilt so don't have many of these completed as of yet. I do have 5 in progress right now...with many more laid out to get going on... Lap size would never be touched in my house.
