I tend to make twin size, or lap/wall hanging size. I quilt by hand so I am not going to attempt anything larger. I don't use a frame so it would be much too bulky. I never measure mine so I don't know dimensions, I just quilt until it looks right, I only use patterns as guidelines.

So far I have pieced two table toppers and a charity lap quilt. I have plans for more lap quilts (I am only 5'1" m/l) so lap quilts are large enough for me to use when sleeping. My quilt guild is working on a quick quarter so I am venturing into unknown territority and am planning on something slightly wider than a twin. We are two weeks behind schedule thanks to Ma Nature, but Monday is the day. So looking forward to getting started. In February we are doing a double wedding ring table runner. Our goal this year to smaller projects, one each month.
Actually, as I write this I think I my adventurous side is waning and I will do a slightly larger lap quilt. I do have to ease into handquilting as well. Seeing things in print is a tad scary and overwhelming.
