I ask for 3-4" extra on all sides and charge extra if I have to use some muslin strips to get there. If the owner wants a higher loft (poly) bat, I definitely need the 4" as it seems to pull up the top more.

One reason given for the extra is needing to square up the back. I love using wideback (no seams to bump or design to match up,etc) but ask that the store rip and not cut, the wideback when you buy it. Or buy at least a 1/4 yd extra as it is notoriously off grain and a square back sure makes a better quilt!
