    of you make double, queen, king size quilts? I have seen a bunch of small ones but not too many large bed size ones. Just wondering. I usually make bed size quilts with the exception being throws. They are all useful as I have no room for the small ones.Thanks.Patti

    I have made quite a few twin and queen size quilts. I have a tendency to make the quilt bigger than the pattern is usually for.

    I have made king, queen double and twin, nothing smaller, although I would like to try a mini.

    The ones I have made have been bed-sized. I include the baby quilts as bed size. There are many that do use the quilts as throws and wallhangings. I dont have the room to hang anything here and dont like to give them as gifts unless its a request. I dont want someone to have something they wont use. Being cold blooded I can see making a throw for those like me and for others in hospitals etc.

    Tabletoppers are good if you can actually make them to match the receivers decor or its practical for them - my daughter doesnt use anything like this since the kids are always spilling something lol

    Of course this is just my opinion and do not want to offend anyone lol cheryl :thumbup: :-)
