Squares actually work well ... not sitting square on you, it does give you more coverage, IYKNWIM?
TBH I am a square quilt lover ... never have to find the long/short edge!
Having an antique bed with footboard, I don't need a drop at the foot, and not much to tuck in at the bottom. What I need for drop on the sides of the bed, balances with the extra I need for over the pillows. Even as a lap quilt, I love my squares!
