What size do you like your tv, reading, or snoozing on the couch quilt to be? This would be for someone who is about 5'4".

I am 5'4" and I usually make mine at least 60" square.

I'm 5'3¼" (every little bit counts!) and 60-65" square is perfect for me.

About 50" square is adequate for me (about 5'5" ).

i'm 6'1" & like mine 60x90

I'd aim for at least 45" wide, prefer 54" and 72" long. Enough to tuck the feet under

Mercy, you curl a lot better than I can!

I usually make them around 60" square. you can use it on the diagonal to cover up completely or just use it as a lap quilt.

I'm 5'4" and I like 60x90 also. It works for my DH at 6'1" that way too. I buy 2.5 yards of fleece for batting, works perfect.

Lap quilts: I aim for putting borders so quilt is at least 48 - 50" wide and about 60" long.

Thanks for the info. I have started cutting some pieces to applique. Going to be away for a couple of days and then will be able to get going on it.

I try to make mine at least as long as the person is tall, then feet don't stick out.

I'm 5'7" and I make all my lap quilts 57" x 75". I love to wrap my feet up in the extra length :)

I agree. I'm 5'6" and I like to tuck my quilt under my feet and over my shoulders.

Me too! on this one!

I mske mine so I can pull it over my head and under my feet at the same time ... and wide enough that I can turn over and not get a cold backside. Sometimes TV is so boring I want to take a nap instead. Not enough quilting/sewing shows on TV!

The first one was a rag quilt so it was easy to build it up to "my" size.

I too go for about 5 x 6 feet......I want to be able to totally wrap it around myself (or whoever is using it), not just cover the top.

at least 60 x 80

Sometimes we go horizontal while the TV is on.

I like my ears and feet covered at the same time.
Need the width because I'm not so skinny any more.
