    As I am getting older with RA it is harder for me to handle the larger quilts. I have been making lap and baby quilts lately. I am working on a wall hanging and a lap size now for my DGD's. My DD wants a queen size and two DGS's are waiting for twin size so I am going to do those.

    queen sized---9 times out of 10
    i only make smaller quilts if they are specifically requested. same with kings- if someone requests one- otherwise 99% of my quilts are queens

    Most of my quilts are large - queen sized (or super-queen - i.e. queen bedspread size). I quilt all of them on my domestic sewing machine.

    More of mine tend to be lap sized. I don't make bed size unless I have a particular bed in mind.

    I usually do lap size or ones a little larger. I don't do full or king sizes anymore. Just too darn hard to quilt them.

    Bed sized quilts, but honestly, as I was working on this one today and yesterday, it made me consider how much a long arm sewing machine set up would cost....;0

    I make lap quilts. I can do more of those than larger ones, don't get as frustrated trying to quilt them and I can move onto the next quilt sooner.
