What do you call a throw size?

The one below is 67.5" x77" (as shown, not including the outside solid border).
You can add that on...or not and just bind it.

I usually resort to scribbling on paper just to double check.

Case in point - this quilt...

Not to go OT, but just a side note since QuiltNan mentioned it a couple of times....

3 / 1.414 = 2.122 ...round up to 2.125"
