I too like the square quilts. Squares are my favorite shape. As my great grandson sent me a card when I had my joint replacements-- it's hip to be square.
It seems a little silly to be angry at the pattern designer though. Do they not clearly indicate the dimensions of the finished quilt? It's then on you to decide if those dimensions meet your needs. If not, you can certainly find other patterns that are the size and shape you want, or you can adapt the pattern to be exactly what you want. I, like one posting above me, use square quilts over a more neutrally colored comforter or duvet, on point so to speak. The effect is pleasing and it's a very practical way to incorporate a variety of quilts into your decor.
