I usually make either twin size for my granddaughters or a queen size for my dh and myself. My grandson picked out a panel and some matching fabric and wants a wall hanging for his room. I am pretty excited as it will not take me long to get that done.

I usually make quilts that are to be used watching TV. The weight of large quilts is difficult to work with and I usually make quilts with fabric I find fun. If it takes too long and I get bored it becomes closet food - it goes in and never comes out. I have sent several to people that way they like to finish quilts or use up fabric that I no longer like.

I almost never make a bed size quilt. Mostly I make lap size, 40x60 range. The big ones are too hard for me to handle with the sandwiching and then the quilting. If the pattern makes a bigger size, I figure out how to downsize it. And since I like modern/wonky looking quilts, I most likely will make as many blocks as I want then add different sized borders.
