I made this quilt top from this month's Quilters world mag. Measures 60x60...I had the idea of making it for my DH who is 6 ft plus.. Now it seems short. Would it make sense to add two rows so it becomes 60x84? I have extra fabric in my stash. Just need someone else's opinion.

I, too, have a tall man in my home. I'd add the two rows, that way he can cover his toes!

Yes, make it longer!

I have tall men and they like them longer for toe covering (smile). Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely! Tall guys need their toes covered too!

Yes, I'd say make it longer....

My husband is shorter than me so we don't have this problem:). I would definitely make it longer....looks great by the way...very man-caveish (not sure that is a word but you know what I mean)

I love your throw. I made my husband's quilt two rows longer....it was just right!

One row longer and the borders should do it. He's not likely to cover his head. Your choice of fabrics is wonderful. I really like the brown swirled one..

Definitely make it longer. 60" is only 5', so he would need the extra length. I love your fabrics! Great quilt!

If it were mine, I'd appreciate the extra length.

Like the pattern, love the brown fabric!

Maybe not over the head but sometimes its nice to tuck the feet in.

Why not?

Really nice! Yes make it longer.

Kool! Yes, make it longer!

Nice colors! Def longer. What page was this on? Do you remember? I don't remember seeing it.

Yes, make it longer. My DH is tall also.

And it is beautiful! Love those colors!

Yep! I'd add two rows or more!! I've done it for tall guys!

very nice

Definitely go longer. It is beautiful!

i would definitely add the two extra rows. it looks great.

My husband requested his be longer. He now loves his quilt and uses it all the time. Need drape to keep out the draft and snuggle room.hehe

I'd add more rows and maybe a border to make it wider and longer! Your man is going to love it!

Lovely fabrics. Yes, you can definiately add another 2 rows. Rather too long than too short. Good luck. Hope you have enough fabric.

Love your color choices and pattern...nice combination. I would also add the extra borders. Better to be too long than too short. Nice quilt :)

Ah....go on! Spoil him! .... add the inches ..... (or feet) .... he'll appreciate it either way .... but he'll adore it with the extra length... men are such babies in the long run, aren't they?

I always make them long enough to tuck under foot and go to under the chin. So it would take at least a row to tuck under plus shrinkage. Two rows for sure!

Great fabrics!

:thumbup:

Yes, I do this quite often when I have a pattern that makes a square quilt. I do not care for square quilts that are meant to be used as a throw.

nice great colors

Just finished one for my 6'3" husband. Added two rows and borders and he loves it.

Longer is a must. Lowell ;)

I'm only 5' tall, and even I'd like it longer to tuck under my feet and keep them warm. Go for the extra rows. It looks great.

Yep I have to do that all the time with patterns that I see listed in magazines. It seems they always make them way to short for the taller people and I'm surrounded by tall folks. LOL
I'm the midget at almost about 5', I keep checking but I still can't get to that 5' mark.

I love it and the sashes around the blocks makes them have the appearance of the block being raised.

Go for it

Yes it makes sense. I have been doing fleece throws for taller people and making them 3 yards long. They love them. The quilt is gorgeous so far.

Beautiful quilt. Another vote for making it longer.
