to figure the size of your quilt, i use the following

mattress size (actual measurements of top of mattress) + drop (depth of mattress & desired overhang) + pillow tuck (optional depending on if using with pillow shams)
+ 5 to8% for shrinkage from quilting & batting shrinkage (for more control preshrink cotton battings).

Hope this helps.
