I tend to make twin size, or lap/wall hanging size. I quilt by hand so I am not going to attempt anything larger. I don't use a frame so it would be much too bulky. I never measure mine so I don't know dimensions, I just quilt until it looks right, I only use patterns as guidelines.

retired2pa...what a great idea! that way I might be able to finish ufo's & wips quickly if they're all lap sized or table topper sized! I think you're onto something here....

Most of mine are large lap size, around 60" squared, or oversized kings.

So far I have pieced two table toppers and a charity lap quilt. I have plans for more lap quilts (I am only 5'1" m/l) so lap quilts are large enough for me to use when sleeping. My quilt guild is working on a quick quarter so I am venturing into unknown territority and am planning on something slightly wider than a twin. We are two weeks behind schedule thanks to Ma Nature, but Monday is the day. So looking forward to getting started. In February we are doing a double wedding ring table runner. Our goal this year to smaller projects, one each month.

Actually, as I write this I think I my adventurous side is waning and I will do a slightly larger lap quilt. I do have to ease into handquilting as well. Seeing things in print is a tad scary and overwhelming.

B-I-G ones ......... More on the large double/queen size. We use every one I make, then into the washer/dryer and then to the giftee. Gotta find out how wonderful each one is before it disappears.

Mostly lap and baby quilts. Occassionally, a queen size quilt.

Me, too, Mad. I tend to sew it. Hold it up and decide if it needs more.

Me Too. :)

I seldom make bed quilts anymore. I make a lot of baby and couch potato quilts. Everyone seems to love a small quilt to snuggle under while vegging out on front of the tv.
