    Hi! I guess my favorite size quilt to make is queen, although I also like to make king-size. Seems everyone in my family has a big bed and like to just wrap up in the quilt and be all cozy! Thank you for the chance to win! Oh, and I have made some lap-size and twins, also, but mostly queen.

    I tend to be drawn to very large quilts, almost king size especially since I incorporate piecing and applique and use my quilts as wall art. I have a couple of large decorate rods in my lounge and alternate my quilts every 6 months or so or whenever I have the energy and motivation to get up on the ladder and change them over.
    Thank you for the chance to be a winner

    I don’t have a favorite size that I like to make my quilts. Lately tho I have been making smaller quilts and wall hangings table runners. It takes less time to make those and I have not had a lot of time lately for my projects. Besides I really do not need any bed quilts right now.

    I don’t know if it is a favorite or not, but single bed size are the most useful when living in a very small space. I have learned to make “baby” quilts single bed size so they can be used beyond the crib stage.

    So many amazing baby and children’s quilts. Every one is a winner for me!!! Good luck to all the wonderful entries!
    My favorite size quilt is fairly large…say 75″ X 80″ give or take for a throw, or on up to bed sized quilts. I’m fairly tall, as are my daughters and grandchildren, so other than a “little quilt” for fun or table toppers, I like a quilt I can wrap up in by tucking it under my feet and up under my chin with lots of room to move around left over. Very comfy and also large enough to tuck in under for a nice nap! Hugs…

    I enjoy working on smaller wall quilts because not only can I get them finished, but I add a lot more special touches to a smaller quilt like hand embroidery, rick rack, beads, buttons, etc. Plus a small quilt is so much easier to quilt.

    My favorite size quilt to make is what I refer to as a crib quilt. There are so many sites out there telling you what size a crib quilt is, or a lap quilt or whatnot. I just go with what I think is perfect for the little ones. Around 40″ x 50″ is just about right (no piecing for the back, unless you want to). Great for when they’re little and need tummy-time. Great for when they’re toddlers and need a comfy quilt to nap under and even when they get a little bigger and just want that little bit of personal comfort that comes from your very own personal quilt that was created just for you. Not that I’m against a bigger quilt, by any means.

    This week was really tough on the voting front. So many wonderful quilts out there. All those little people are so fortunate to have them. As always, I look forward to next week’s entries.
