Sometimes we do not get good information from the people we work for. Knowing the measurements of the bed would be helpful...as well as how much "drop" there needs be to be make the finished product pleasing to the eye.
I make quilts for charities, so I do not make them to fit certain bed sizes. They are often made from donated fabric/scraps so they become whatever size they are purely because I run out of blocks. I do add borders to enlarge them to make something more than a lap quilt or wall hanging size, which I think would be useless to someone wanting to keep warm.
Joyce has years of experience doing hand quilting, but also will stitch for her customers. Hand quilting is "premier" for a quilt to be kept in the family and passed down to future generations.
Mine are quilts for comfort...and there is a world of difference as those of you who quilt for charity will readily agree.
Thanks for your helpful answers. Keep your ideas coming.
