Lap sized for me. Have made twin sized. I like to work with smaller quilts. I have a plan for an extra large twin and a oversized queen...so we will see how that works for me. Probably be a little cursing!!

My sizes I make are the sizes of my bed and my kids. Queen and King. I made lots of baby quilts as gifts.

I have made various sizes over the years, some of them just far too big to quilt without problems on my home machine. Through trial and error, I've realised that I much prefer to make lap, wall hangings and crib quilts.

I like to make lap quilts because of my RA it is so much better for my back and arms. Lately I have been working on queen size quilts as I am making the as gifts for family that need that size. I sure will be happy when I finish them so I can go back to more fun sizes. I am into bags for Christmas gifts also I love making table toppers.

I like to make lap quilts. I made one twin size & did not like doing it.

Usually I make lap/twin size up to queen size quilts. These are the sizes that tend to fit the beds of my daughters and their families.

This is my favorite size also, and it's good for the comfort quilts I make the most of.

As much as I need a new and lightweight quilt for my double bed, I am hopelessly addicted to making baby blanket sized quilts. Easiest to manage on my own little machine.
