I prefer rectangle quilts so at least there is a top and bottom so I know which way is up the right way.

I don't like square quilts because I'm not shaped that way and my husband is over 6 feet, so I prefer rectangular so they are longer than they are wide. Why are so many partterns made square?

Since I've never seen a square bed, I absolutely prefer rectangular. I don't know why patterns are made square, but I almost always modify them and add blocks or whatever to make them rectangular.

My sentiments exactly. Round beds, but square??? I do rectangular even if I have to modify the pattern.

I like both. I guess it really depends on what the quilt is for. In general, rectangle quilts for adults and square quilts for babies. Wallhangings? Guess it really depends on what you're making.
