Size of sofa throw
 
What would you say is a good size, without being a full blown quilt, for a throw for the sofa that the guys can get under in the winter watching tv? What works best for you?

I like 55-ish wide by 70-ish long. When I make a quilt it never has a deliberate size in mind. It will be what it will be when I am done.

Many of my quilts are what I call lap sized, but all are different. They generally run about 50 x 60.

I like about 48 x 72. Big enough to go from nose and cover the toes!

For a largish adult - at least 60 inches wide - 80 inches long.

I like to be covered from over my toes to over my shoulders.

This is assuming that one falls asleep on the couch and forgets to get up and go to bed.

I usually make them in the 60" x 70" range.

Hey, this is my way also!

I make mine 72x72 (or thereabouts!). I call them "nap quilts" and I nap under mine every chance I get! That's big enough for one person to nap under, or two people to snuggle under for movie time.

It also depends on what size of blocks or pattern you are making. Usually 72" in length is good for guys.
