I enjoy making a lap quilt
I love a lap-size/throw-size quilt because of the versatility. You can curl up with it on the sofa or put it on a bed on top of a white or cream color comforter and change it out as you please, or they can even be hung on the wall as decor. They are fairly fast to sew and easier to quilt. And they make great gifts.
My son loves a king quilt that will fold over the pillows on top when he makes the bed. Huge!
When I do applique, I prefer wall hanging sized quilts. Since we have a California king sized bed, when I piece, I work on that size.
I love making wall hangings & larger size lap quilts. But all my family, including myself, have king size beds and of course we all want quilts. So, I see a few king size in my future!
I have mostly made lap or baby/crib size quilts. Unfortunately, our bed is a California King. LOL
I like to make queen size quilts. I have some pretty tall grandsons and I want them to wrap up in the quilts I make them. I also like queen size because they can be used as bedspreads to brighten the room, not that my grandsons would ever make their beds. 🙂
My very first quilt was a king size lonestar, how’s that for brave or maybe uneducated about quilting. I sure did bite off a lot for my first foray into quilting. I still generally make king size as all the kids and spouses have king size beds. But right now I am into Wall-hangings so much more fun and a lot quicker.
I also started my quilting career with a king size Lonestar quilt for my son. It took me a couple years to complete as I was so intimidated by the process. Would love to do another to see how much I have improved.
I prefer to make wall hangings and table runners. I am able to use these in my home as I change my home decor every season and these fit in great. I also are more apt to give a table runner as a gift instead of a larger quilt. I am currently working on my 2nd king size quilt, a spring wall hanging, and a spring table cloth. I enjoy making small items such as coasters, bowl cozies, small purses, and table runners to have available for hostess gifts, birthday gifts, and thinking of you gifts.
My family all have king size quilts. So if I’m making bed quilts, king size it is.
Like King size. My son tells me to extend the sides of quilt about 20” each side. Everyone has enough without fighting for covers. So about 114” long x118” wide. Takes a while to hand quilt
