Inquiring minds would love to know. :mrgreen:

p.s. For me, it seems that quilting isn't only a hobby, it's a sickness!!

Most of the quilts I make are queen sized

My smallest was 85x95, largest 106x106. I have only made bed size quilts.

I prefer full/queen although I make large laps as well (60x60/72)

I make mine about 65 x75 which is lap or twin size.. We have a king size bed so I lay the quilt across the center of the bed and let the bedspread be the side and cover the pillows. These are easier, cheaper and quicker.

I really like to make these approximate sizes. Lap quilts can go on top of a bed for extra warmth, cuddled under on the couch, floor or in a car, and can warm your walls too!! Very versatile, whereas a bed quilt usually stays on the bed. I like the speed of lap or baby size too.

Til I get my sewing room built next summer, I am sticking to lap quilts, table runners and wall hangings. It's getting pretty hard to wade through my bedroom/craft room!

I try to make mine a very practical size to suit the occasion. I have no storage so most of mine are made to fit a bed and be used. Small house, no wall space. Small ones just get stuck in a closet.

I make all sizes but lots of baby quilts and throws. If for my kids they want King sizes but we have lots of throw sizes for the 4 grandsons

Mostly queen size.

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

Me three! :thumbup:
