What size of quilts do you make?
#31
I am one of these persons that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." For a large quilt, I love 12" blocks, so I got five across/seven down, 2-1/2" sash, 4" border. If I don't want the sashing, I add one more block up and down. For the coverlets, I use my 12" blocks - 3 across/5 down, same goes for the sashing. The coverlet ends up 52x80 and the large quilt is 80x104. That is with the 2-1/2" sash and 4" border. Those are the only two sizes I like to make. My baby quilts are the same size as a coverlet. I like them for on the floor, to go on a youth bed or t win bed.

I usually make it whatever size it will make with the fabric that I have. Usually it's the background fabric that dictates the size )
I give them all away and rarely make something specific. My favorite way to add to the size of the quilt is to break up a border with a keyboard border within the plain one.
Hope this picture helps.

Unless I am doing a charity quilt and quilting it myself on my DSM, I usually make something in the twin size. Most others are in the 40x60 range. This way, I can use one width of yardage for the backing.

I like to make lap size or table toppers and bags because they are much easier to handle with my RA. However I now have several queen size that I have the fabric for that I have to make soon. I also have fabric for a bird lap quilt ready to go.

Most of my quilts range in size from 42"x54" to 55"x72". I make charity quilts, my family has plenty of bed sized quilts. I don't like square quilts, much prefer rectangular quilts.
