Sizes
 
What are the average sizes for quilts? I tend to make mine "throw" size about 50" x 60". My husband thinks they are to small. Any ideas?:)

I make most of mine the size to fit the top of a twin bed. Never really measured.

Mine come out whatever size they come out. Part of the time I make them a specific size but most of the time the pattern dictates how big they turn out.

Unless its for a baby I make queen or oversized queen. They can be used on the bed or on the couch for a nap.

Depends on who they are for or what purpose. Personally, I like longer and wider 'throw' or 'nap' quilts ... unless it is for a bed.

I seem to go from one extreme to the other....they're either baby or queen/king...oh hum

I make throw size too but I make them 72 inches long by anywhere from 48 - 52 wide. I like to tuck my feet under when lying under a quilt.

The last two I've made are twin size but the ones before, were slightly smaller (for the sofa).

I'm with Scissor Queen...mine decide how big they want to be. I prefer lap quilts, but my DH also says they are too small.

For a throw, I aways make them long enough to tuck under the feet and still have a corner for the shoulders----------over 72 inches long.
