Default Beaver Bankets (Size)

I've been catching beaver +/- 60 lbs but have never put up a blanket yet.....all 2XL. Today I put one up that was 59.5 lbs by the bathroom scale and I thought for sure that it was a blanket. I did the old nose/tail measurement and by that it should have been. Once I started nailing the sides, I felt that I was stretching the pelt so I went down to 2XL. I've never overstretched a beaver pelt but I'm wondering if I'm being just a little too cautious.

For you fellas who've caught blankets, what kind of size beaver did you put up?
