Baby’s Garden By: Angie in SoCal,

What a lot of cute quilts!
My favorite is either a lap quilt or throw.
I prefer lap size quilts. Thanks.
I like both for different reasons.
A wall hanging or mug rug.
(smjohns63 at yahoo dot com)
I love to make baby quilts–That’s the only size I can seem to finish.
Very cute quilts.. I nearly always make queen size. It’s just what my family want to use, harder for me though!
My favorite size quilt to make is anything throw size and smaller.
My fav is crib size. Easy and quick to make plus good size for home machine quilting. Thx.
I lkie making the comfort quilts (48″x60″ approx.). They go fast and are usually for charity.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hugs
My favorite size of quilt to make is whatever I have enough fabric for!
My favorite size quilt is lap or throw blanket size!
I like to make large lap size quilts. Every evening I love to choose a different quilt to snuggle with in front of the TV.
I like lap quilts, because the size is easier to quilt, and table runners, because they can change with the season. I’ve tackled all sizes, though.
Lap size is my favorite. Baby quilts are second runner up. Making large quilts are o.k. but it usually takes me a lot longer to get my act together and quilt them. I have some three years old and still waiting :^)
I’ve only made lap size and smaller. Looking to have my first big one done in a few weeks.
There are some wonderful pieces of work here! Lots of talent
I enjoy making 180cm X 225cm Quilts they take a long time but they are a labour of love and make the best presents in the world
My favorite sizes are wallhanger, lap and thows
I don’t have a favourite size. I design most of my quilts as I go so they finish however big (or small) they finish.
There were too many wonderful quilts to choose from to vote. I think the sampler is just what I need to learn about piecing blocks!
lap quilts
I am into making Queen size for my HS graduating …grandchildren
My favourite size is a lap size quilt…
Wonderful quilts above…very hard to choose.
Right now I love making table runners and lap quilts. As a beginner they are perfect sizes for me! This book would be awesome to have for a beginner like me! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Thanks for hosting the Show and Tell each week! It is always a pleasure to drop in and see all the entries. My favourite size of quilt to work on is baby size. I am working on a 100″ x 100″ scrappy quilt right now…. And it is a bit much! But I am almost finished the quilting!

Lot’s of beautiful quilts and talented people… My Mom and sister both quilt, maybe I need to start!! Was very hard to pick- they were all great and hold special meanings to the creators, but I had to vote for my friends quilt to be fair!!!
So much talent. Choosing just one was terribly difficult.
Most of the quilts that I make bed size quilts.
I like to make lap size.
I like to make large size quilts, enough to hang over a full size bed.
Currently lap size quilts are my favorite, but I’ve only been quilting for a year so maybe I’ll venture out to larger sizes in the near future.
My favourite size is a wall hanging and then in second place are bed sized quilts.
So many cute quilts! It was really hard to pick only six to vote for. Good luck everyone!
I love making lap size quilts and smaller projects like wall hangings, bags, and table runners.
I now prefer to work on smaller projects, with a lap sized quilt being the largest….. because….. I have sooo many larger quilt tops machine pieced and still waiting to be quilted.
I like to work on lap quilts, you can never have too many to cuddle with. I have been working my way to twin size lately.
Beautiful quilts for little ones. Was really difficult to pick my favorites.
I like to make lap size quilts, great for taking a quick nap. :)
Queen sized rag quilts are my fav to make!
I like to make a quilt you can use. No wall hangings :-)
My favorite is a single bed sized quilt, but have king’s too.
Mis preferidos son los tamaño de cuna de bebé
I like making all sizes, including table toppers and placemats. Always have at least one large and a couple of small projects going.
My favorite siz quilt is what I call a TV quilt, as it is just the right size to snuggle under on a cold evening while watching TV. It’s about 40 X 68.
I love making crib size quilts the best. There’s something magical about making them, knowing the receiver will have a piece of their childhood for years to come. Ultimately passing it on to their son or daughter.

Anything small enough that I can quilt on my home machine.
i like a twin sized not to big to handle on my janome
I don’t make big quilts much anymore. But I do have a few in progress. My favorite size is lap size, seems to be popular. It’s manageable.
Bed size. Bigger the better. I want to be able to use them so a small bed size is good for a large throw on the couch if needed.
