Gotta put a B&W on my to-do list after seeing this!

I don't get it. If the size is big enough to cover, why does it matter if it isn't a rectangle? A 6' long quilt is 6' whether it is 6' wide or 5' wide. Being a square doesn't automatically mean it's too short to cover feet or a whole body. Being a rectangle doesn't automatically mean it is long enough. It's the overall size that matters, not the shape. Simple math.

A quilt is a quilt and is so special! If for a bed I usually make mine longer..just do..didn't stop to think why guess I like to fold them over the pillows.. thinking about it I always add an extra row..maybe 'cause I hope I never get wider than I am long??

I prefer rectangular quilts, but have seen many patterns for square quilts. You can change a rectangular quilt to be square, or a square quilt to be rectangular on many patterns by making more or less blocks, or adding borders, leaving off borders, etc. No one is better than the other, just which you prefer.
