I've made all sizes, from miniature to King. Miniatures are great for experimenting with color combinations and new techniques and for donating to silent auctions at quilt shows. Have made many baby quilts, wall quilts and lap quilts for gifts or charity. Made 1 King as wedding gift for DS and DDIL. Have sold many miniature tops and have several bed sized quilts as UFO's.
So . . . what was the original question??? OK . . . I live in a small space and overall tend to make quilts in the smaller size range. |
I like king size quilts. I want them to fit my beds, I have 2 king size beds and one queen size bed. I just bought a new joy quilt frame - so far I like it just fine. I put it together myself without any help - I was proud of myself. I started quilting my quilt with one of my home sewing machines, its a bernina, don't have much quilting space with it. I got to a point where I couldn't go any further because I didn't have any more space to quilt so I decided to invest in a long arm sewing machine. I ordered the baileys home quilter, I don't have it yet - but I''m excited to get it so I can proceed quilting project. It's about 3/4 done.

I tend to make mostly lap size for myself and as gifts. Depending on the recipient I might need to make them extra long - lot of tall men in my family. I do make baby quilts and just started making smaller ones fcr wall hangings and table toppers/runners. Until I can afford a long arm (when my ship comes in - though I'll probably waiting at the airport) I like to make the size I can machine quilt myself.

Me too. And also since my youngest son is 6'2 and dear SIL is 6/5. |

Baby quilts keep me busy. My daughters are grown, and tell me they are "done with that". But the nieces and dear friends are all very productive.

Most of my quilts are queen size or baby quilts. Sometimes I come across some material that goes together and fits a double bed or a twin, but the biggest majority are queen size.

Lately I've been doing a lot of baby quilts. But I usually do twin or queen size. Haven't done a queen in a while. Need to do one for my brother.

Baby size or lap quilts for me, but I have made one queen and several twin size. Depends a lot on who I am making it for and how they want to use it.
