NEED SOME ADVICE AND HELP PLEASE
#1
I am making a king size bed topper for friends. and the bed size mattress is 78length x 76 width . I do not have a bed to lay it on here ;(:(>> so going blind.. I imagine it to go down a couple of inches over the edge of the bed.. and account for machine quilting as well. The drop of the bed is 14 inches.. which may or may not even matter.. How big would you go? I almost want to go to a bed store and lay this on top lOL>

maybe I am not clear I am making a TOPPER .. it will go over a plain black bedspread just on top but has to go to the edges and a couple inches down.. NOT A king quilt all the way to the sides.. I like them cuz you can have a black bed add color with the topper and seasons too.

OKay so now I have 70 x 74 inches done and the king mattress size is 76 x 80 which means i need 6 inches minimum....to meet that requirement but I do want to go down about three inches on the sides and allow for machine quilting.
I have one last border fabric to do ..( with the circles) do you think I can make a 9 inch border or would that be wierd? I think it would allow it to sit well on the bed too. and not worry . I have never done a border that wide I have a picture of it placed there not sewn.. Help please.

I'm a bit confused. You won't quilt it? Wouldn't the edges fray and come undone after it gets handled?
