I'm having an anxiety attack over this and I don't know why. I've made six or seven quilts from crib size to a full. This is my first queen and it's finally for my bed.
I want to do Trip Around The World with the attached fabrics. I have two fabrics I'm not happy with and will probably switch them out. I will have a total of 15 fabrics when I'm done. I want to do 2" strips.
I have a queen extra plush that sits high on an antique four poster bed that has a headboard and a footboard. The footboard is really tight so I won't be able to have a ton of fabric to tuck in. I want my quilt to cover the mattress and box springs and have a tuck for the pillows.
The measurements are
Mattress 60" x 80"
Mattress 13" high
Box Spring 9.5" high
So I get this-
Width
60"+13"+13"+9.5"+9.5"+3"(Shrink)=108" Wide
Length
80"+13"+9.5"+12"(Pillow Tuck)+3"(Shrink)=117.5
I really think this is too long.
