Pattern sizes
I’ve been reading patterns on both the Internet and in magazines and the pattern sizes -to me- just seem strange. Today there was a really pretty pattern I liked but it was 42 x 42. I’m not a really tall person but I am 65 inches. So many of the patterns are, at the most, about 57”. I know that in some cases, I can add borders but some you can’t. Also do most people like squares for their quilts? I don’t make tablecloths out of my quilts so a quilt that is 42x 42 is basically a small child’s quilt. But the pattern isn’t for a small child. What do you all do, redesign the pattern?
