I make all sizes, but I guess wall hangings and runners or toppers are what I make the most for they are usually given as gifts.

I envy all of you queen size quilters! My projects are usually very similar in size to the oversized lap quilts mentioned above...just under a twin and smaller. I make many more small projects in between though, I get bored quickly and have to be REALLY in love to continue on with a big project and actually get it finished.

I'm new to quilting, but I've made baby quilts and lap quilts the most. I wish I could quit my day job and quilt all day! :-)

I usually do crib size for all the babies and lap size, sometimes I do make more rows if I feel it is too small.

Me, too, Mad. I tend to sew it. Hold it up and decide if it needs more.

Ha! I'm not the only one who 'flies by the seat of her pants' when it comes to patterns. I can always say mine are all 'custom'. Quilt doesn't quite cover the mattress?? OK, let's just add a border or two and make it work.

Large lap quilts - 65x85 - I like to be able to snuggle right up and be totally covered and wrapped like a burrito lol. I have made a smaller lap (45x65) for my very..."vertically challenged" Grandmother ;)

most are baby/crib size, some are lap quilts.

Bed size quilts, mostly queen size.

[I go by my husband, he's 6'4" and if it completely covers him up and it's wider than his arm-span, that's the size I usually finish at.[/quote]

Hahahahaa, I thought I was the only one who used a tall person as a size guide!
I'm tall and I hate cold feet, so I tend to make 'longer' quilts. Most are either a generous twin or queen size.
Now, having said that, right now I have a monster King size on the frame that I'm going to add the borders to after the center is done! (it didn't fit on the frame if I added them first)
