Absolutely!! That is what I gave my daughter when she got married--a large throw size quilt for their couch. I rarely make bed size quilts anymore.

I a couple of years ago when i had several weddings in one summer - i started making his 'n hers couch quilts. They are usually about 52-54 x 70-72 - Usually one is girlie and one masculine..... I always put a note in the card that says some version of "marriage is all about sharing - but sometimes you just want your own blankie." All have been very well received - and i can do them both in less time than it takes for a bed sized....and i don't have to worry about what size their bed is / will be

It sure can. I once made a tiny wall hanging as a wedding gift. If it is from the heart, it counts.

many brides have a plan for their bedroom decor... so making a bed quilt might not be the best idea. i'd rather see a throw size as it has more uses. jmho

I actually give large lap quilts often. they are a little less expensive for me, but I also think they more often get used. a lap quilt can always get used on the couch, in a bedroom, in a rec room, a picnic or a ball game. very versatile

Of course. a large one is great for 2 to cuddle under.

I prefer giving a throw size quilt for a wedding gift. Bedroom styles change down through the years but a throw is useful no matter the decor. But that's just my opinion. :-) I've given 4 as wedding gifts, so I guess I really do believe that. Lol!

My daughter requested a small throw. On the back I embroidered (by hand) their names and the date of the wedding, and then circling out I included the names of everyone in attendance - with family closest.
For my step-son and his new wife I am having signature blocks for the wedding and am making them a a 60" square quilt and will put the signature blocks on the back incorporated into a darker fabric.
The point being - you can do anything you want! It is a gift !!

Love the idea of a throw for a wedding gift. Often the bedroom linens are part of the shower for the bride, this way, you don't have to "match" whatever is picked out for that.

Of course! They can cuddle under it watching television.
