52x74 Why that size for a Quilt??
#1
Went looking for a pattern in magazines and most all are made with 52x74 size more or less.
Why do they do that?? There isn't a conversion chart either. :cry:
Does anyone know the reason??

I call it "couch size" - although my idea of couch size is about 60 x 80 - big enough to cover a short adult up if they fall asleep on the couch.
A double size bed mattress is 54 x 75 - maybe it's considered a "topper"

That wouldn't even cover my husbands as a couch quilt! lol I feel your frusteration and I usually end up either making or adding blocks or making larger blocks to get the size I want. Never let a pattern size stand in your way if you like the quilt.
