I like to use smaller blocks in small quilts. Bigger blocks in big quilts. For example I have been working on a quilt for my husband that is 98x112, the blocks are 14 inches each. They look fine. Where as I would NEVER make a twin quilt with this size block.
I made a lap quilt using 12 inch blocks once. I hate it. The size of the block looks disproportionate to me.
I'm not fond of square quilts either. They gotta be oblong.

I like the look of the smaller blocks. For example, I'm doing a quilt for my fil that's a modified sawtooth. Well if I did the 12" I wouldn't have as much of a design for the top of the bed. The 8" gave me the look I wanted, so that's what I ended up going with.
It's your quilt make the blocks as large or small as you like. :thumbup:

The one rule I try to follow is HAVE FUN :)
