My main concern is for length. I am determined that whoever uses my quilts can cover their feet up to their neck! I have one grandson who is 6'4" and I bet my quilt is the only one of all his blankets that cover him from foot to over his shoulders, because I made it extra long just for him. The length is the same for twin, double, Queen, and a little longer for King.

For charity quilts they usually are about 60 wide x 65 to 70". Last year I did make 45x60 for younger kids.
Usually if I use up the scraps I am working with then I stop. They can also be used for covering legs while sitting in wheelchair or not.

Most of my family don't like lap quilts, they like to be covered from head to toe. I keep a few twin sized around for a quick gift or donation. I also make doll quilts for the local Salvation Army. They are about 24" square. This is a good thing to do with orphan blocks or to try out a new block for a quilt. You can also make Quilts of Valor to donate to that. I make baby quilts to donate to the local pregnancy center.

I make mine 53"x78" which is the size of a single bed duvet. I specifically chose this size because it is bigger than a lap quilt but smaller than a twin bed quilt. For me this is the perfect size to cover an adult comfortably on the sofa but still big enough to use on a twin bed. Actual twin bed size is a bit bulky for a 'lap' quilt or sofa throw.
