    I make anything from double to king. None of us in our family like anything smaller, including me.

    I do a lot of quilting for charity, so most of mine are in the 48”x60” range. I do big square quilts for wheelchairs, maybe 48” square.

    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.

    Usually large nap size/twin. For baby quilts-34 x 40. Charity ones, 55 x 70 or so.

    Any size that fits a bed, mostly queen and king. I like for my quilts to be big enough to use. We use our bed quilts for tv watching also.

    I make sizes that will fit a bed if that is the intention. I also do charity quilts and those are smaller - more for a child or a wheelchair

    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.

    I make lap size & baby size. I've only made one twin size & that's the largest I've ever made.
