I usually focus on the design of the quilt rather than the size it will end up being, unless I want to make something of a specific size for a bed/couch/table or something like that.
Do you try to make your quilt sizes coincide with bed sizes? Or do your quilts just end up as big as the end up? |
It varies with me. I usually have a rough idea of how big I want it and plan my blocks accordingly.
|
Sometimes both. Some quilts are a planned size and some just end up whatever size they end up.
|
Mine aren't really made to fit specific beds but are more lap/twin quilts for a single person to use....(for example I use mine on my side of our king sized bed because I like more covers than DH does).
I try to stay less than 80 tall and 72 wide, just because it makes the backings work out easier. |

I never measure a quilt size untill I'm making the binding.
I look at the quilt to tell me if it is finished. Sometimes I like making a block so much I just keep on going till I run of the fabric I'm using. It's so much fun. peace EDIT: Very funny Patrice! :thumbup: |
