any size you want- some people make miniture quilts (pot holders or even coaster size) some people make huge extra large king sized quilts- and every size in between- make your quilt the size you want it to be-for what you plan to use it for- if you have a queen bed & want a quilt for your bed make a queen- if your friend is expecting and you want to make the new baby a quilt make it a baby quilt---its up to you what size you want to make your quilt.

For a first quilt top, it's wise to stay around lap quilt size -- a width of about 52-68 inches, and a length of about 52-78 inches. This will make it easier to stuff under the arm of your sewing machine while you machine quilt. Even if you decide to hand quilt, it's a good idea to keep that first project about this size so you don't feel too bogged down in terms of time needed for the quilting.
