Do you like a square quilt? I might change..to rectangle...need advice
#33
The quilt pictured in my avatar is square. It's on my bed right now. And for that reason I now know that I like them rectangular. And here's another quirky thing....I put the rectangular ones on my bed crossways. I know, sounds funny. The square ones always want to slide down off the end of the bed and I'm constantly trying to cover myself in the middle of the night. If I put a rectangular one on crossways I don't have that problem. There's no weight hanging off the foot of the bed.

I know if this one was on the bed it could only go one way, with the redwork pictures they have to be up and down and the top has to be at the top, it is barns.
I like your border there.

Personally, I do both..depends on the quilt design. Sometimes it needs the "square" look. I always make them large enough to hang over about a foot or two, so when one gets into bed, the body is still covered. Sometimes I make one large enough to fold over pillows, other times the quilt is just flat and doesn't cover the pillows. It's all in a mood thing for me - they always turn out very nice.

Depends what it's for. A square lap quilt is sometimes too wide and not long enough. I make a square for my bed so there's enough hanging over the side . I wouldn't make it a rectangle - or a square - just because you think it should be, unless it enhances the over all design. That is, I wouldn't make a square quilt into a rectangle, if the square functions for what you need, unless changing it to a rectangle would make it better.
