I have made two king size quilts, and make them to fit each indivual bed. I also put it on as making it to see how it looks, what do I want to do next, what will look best. I don't want it to go over the pillows, but want them to hang down over the the sides so box spring doesn't show. Remember to prewash, they will shrink up if you don't and all your hard work will be for naught.
