I just joined this forum last month, and have been doing a lot of reading and have learned a lot of tips and tricks. When I got to this thread I just had to respond though. I have been making charity chemo quilts for a local organization for three years now. They do not have any restrictions on size, however, I have gotten really good feedback from them that a good size that works well for the patient and staff is 44x60 inches. I have been making that size since. I also back all of mine with either flannel or fleece for the added warmth and comfort. And I do make a carry bag for each one too.
