Sometimes there is only one size listed and I figure out how to add an extra row of blocks across the quilt or add to the top or bottom. And like those who have posted, I don't like square quilts either.
Yes, pretty much what I do....noticing in almost all mags the featured quilts are those useless 54"x67" or whatever size....for what? I make quilts for beds. So I have to add whatever to get size I want.......I like when the pattern shows additional sizes....... Just me!
