Thanks for all the replies..I am finishing my mom's quilt and it is now only 66 inches wide - and while I don't remember what it was before quilting,(That was 6 months ago!!) I am now concerned about it fitting the twin bed. She won't care. And I may add a ruffle on to the edges to add more to the width. Struggling to visualize that at 6:30 am and w/ minimal caffeine!
I do heavy quilting, so i'm thinking less shrinking??? AARRGGHH!! The majority of fabric used on this was from my grandmother (died in 1945), so my assumption is w/ the exception of what I added, her stuff won't shrink.
My next project is a king size quilt and i really don't want that to not fit for my friend's bed. I think i'm gonna need to add about another 6 inches around on her quilt top.
Thanks again - Stay tuned for picture of Mom's quilt - should be a couple weeks..
