Barb,it is, somewhat. But when you quilt it doesn't that draw the quilt in a bit? Like make the finished quilt smaller from edge to edge? I want the quilt to drape over the sides enough to cover about 1" of the top of the box spring on each side and the end. I have no problem figuring yardage needed. I remeasured and want the quilt to be 85 X 96 after quilted and bound.
