i make lots of square quilts- but if you want a square quilt pattern to wind up rectangular just add an extra row of blocks- or adjust as needed to change the shape- or you can add top/bottom borders to lengthen it...depends on the pattern what *fix* works best- many quilt patterns make square quilts.

I make only square quilts. If they're intended for a bed, then they look good on point or just covering the bottom half of the bed with pillows at the top and if they're baby or lap quilts then you don't have the extra length in the way when wrapping up in them.

I think most of my quilts are square.

I've made several square quilts. In fact...I think more square than rectangular.

When friends pick a medallion quilt I found this a problem and ended up putting an extra section above and below centre and not at sides. Worked so far.

I don't like square quilts of they are meant to be used as bed covers, or even throws. My mother used to say nobody likes cold feet and I agree with her. I have made square quilts for wall hangings and even a few baby quilts and that suits me fine, but not for usable quilts.

I make most of mine square - 50 x 50 or so. I use them for couch throws, or give them away. No one has complained yet!
