I like a good lap size one, but ours are usually longer than most. We have folks 6'6" tall.

I'm currently working on a 75 x 90 quilt on my domestic machine (9 in. harp). I think that's about the widest I will attempt, unless I decide to do a "quilt as you go" variation. 75 in. wide was a lot of pushing and shoving. Fortunately I had basted with water soluble thread, and that helped a lot!

65x65" quilts for little ones. The perfect size for them to grow into (though, honestly, I'm often tempted to steal them for myself because they're great to cover up with!).

I seem to make queen size the most.

A lap quilt. I also make a lot of bags and smaller items. I'd like to try a king size some day, but will probably make it a quilt as you go.

Same as madquilter, mine vary in size. I don't make very many bigger than a twin size because they're too hard to handle, both with piecing and quilting.

I make lap quilts, my quilts measure 65" to 70" in width to as long as 87" in length.

Why do you call this a lap quilt size?

If this is lap, what is twin?

These would be considered European twin...(as 140-150x200 cm --55-59"x about 80") is the standard twin/single here.

Here's a chart where one person thinks these sizes are twins...

I have a domestic machine and I'm a novice quilter. From what I have read a queen size can be done on these. So far I've done up to a 54x78. My blooming nine patch will be 84x76. I've got my fingers crossed. I haven't done enough to know what my favorite is yet.

I enjoy making toddler size quilts the most because they fit so well on my design wall. We are moving now but I had two design walls in my TV room, one behind the other. I can put the quilt top on one wall and we have enjoyed seeing it for days, so bright and cheerful. My second choice is full to queen size quilts, no reason.

Mine are about the same size, recliner, couch size. Enough to cuddle under with kids, grandkids, or just to wrap up and relax!!!
