That's what I was thinking -- make a pocket to keep your toes in.

I think I will add the pocket too! Thanks.

I made a rag quilt several yrs ago & it was too short for when I recline in recliner. So... I just added more squares.

Put it away for summer? Then when would I ever use it! LOL This is the Sunshine State and I use my quilts all year long. Just use Quilter Dream Request loft batting so they are light weight. But I am going to add the pocket to the bottom like a Quillow. Will make one that look like a pillow top. Great ideas from all who posted here. Thanks everybody!

I did something like this, but not a pocket. I sewed tucks into the end of the throw so that it would hook onto my feet and stay there when I want to take a nap. It really works swell. My feet were always cold if the quilt came off them, even with shoes on.
