I don't know how I happened across this formula, but I estimate a queen sized quilt at no less than five yards. Since I am a scrapper, it really doesn't matter how much I have of anything, but it has been consistent with me, no matter the pattern, just to put the quilt on the top of the mattress, no less than five yards. If you want it to hang over, I figure +20" on all four sides ... does that help you at all? <wave
