I guess I'm not sure why you would do this. A bed skirt is used to cover up the box spring. Why not just make your quilt top with wider/longer borders long enough to cover the box spring?
I made a fitted bed skirt to cover the box spring. I want to use all my quilts, not just those that are long enough to cover box spring. When you have pets, having window treatments or bed skirts that reach the floor just adds more upkeep than I want to bother with. So, I took the fitted sheet idea and added elastic and my ruffled bed skirt makes the bottom look shirred.
Most bed skirts are ruffled because you have to be so precise with the ones that aren't for them to look good. You certainly COULD add a ruffle to your quilt top, but do it after you have quilted it. You would skip the binding except at the top once you have attached the ruffle.
