They are 12, 12 1/2" blocks with sashing. They are a little smaller that a twin size bed. I actually made my block about 2" square larger because my kids are 6'!
I'm wondering how big do you make lap quilts? I don't know the difference between a lap and a throw quilt. I want to make my brother something using patriotic fabrics I've been collecting.

I got some dk blue fleece at Walmart last night, cheap. Ds and all his friends are into snow mobiling, and so I am making scarves of two thicknesses of fleece. Should keep them REALLY warm under their helmets!
