It’s wonderful the useful topics you think of to do videos on. This one’s definitely a keeper (well, they all are) and what’s also a keeper is the chart you’ve freely posted of quilt sizes. Thank you SO much, Karen. You’re a keeper.

A video on throw quilt sizes would be wonderful please Karen. Thanks for all your work and videos, they are smashing and so useful. I love them 🤩

[AKof]

You’re the best. I googled my questions on quilting and here’s where I landed Every. Single. Time.

[louiseskouv]

Yes please for a video with the other sizes and by the way i love your videos and watch them frequently 😍🧵🪡

[judibrown]

You're the best! 🥰🥰🥰

This is an AMAZING chart! Thank you SO much for making it and for sharing it! So cool that you even included pickup and other vehicle sized! 🤗🌷🌟

[hsusanaugustyn]

Thank you for this very useful information. I just finished a quilt that did take on a life of its own and turned into a king for a queen. I can live with it, though. Now, however, I will be more organized in my planning.

[SewingMamaJulie]

A traveling quilt size would be extremely useful, as some throws are too large in a vehicle, thank you!

[christianesouter]

Qiltsizes on other quilts would be great thanks learned a lot from you

[samwise]

Throw, car, soldiers, car seat, picnic there are a few of the quilt sizes and examples that would be nice.

[ginabethyoung]

Would love a video on couch quilts, maybe include baby quilts too!

I’ve learned all I need is a solid colored bedspread that covers the mattress. Then I put my quilt on top. It doesn’t matter if it’s not exactly the size to cover the mattress. I even change out the quilts or fold them as bed runners at the foot.

[sweetibbies]

Please make a video on college's size mattress and super twin canopy size.

[beckyezra]

i love your videos, you are so informative with useful information!!! bless. happy summer, and happy to see yr Assitant wt 4 legs healthy again, huge hugs to him.

[SparkyOne]

I figured the size is whatever i want lol I measure and say, “ yep that’s good”.

[pattweimer]

I make queen or king bedspread size only. If any fabric left over 1/2 yd or larger only. The rest of leftovers go to best friend in Florida. When there are leftovers are enough it's time to design throws. Average size for queen is 110" square or larger, king is 120" x 130" at times larger. A spread must cover/ tuck over pillows. Since i have no computer ( or know how to use one!), i can't get anything you put up for our use. I thank you for your timely, positive & so useful for quilters everywhere.

[karenpayton]

Thank you for the download, very helpful! Yes small quilt size chart would be great, thanks again.

[ginanearftworth]

Oh wow! You really but a lot of useful information in this video. The drape is something I've been trying to figure out for a quilt I'm working on currently! I love your videos and appreciate all the work you put into them. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us.
