I don't measure before/after, but often my quilts come out slightly different than the pattern size. I've never made one that HAD to be a particular size, so if it's bigger/smaller that has been fine with me. I do get some shrinkage, but not
sure how much since I don't measure before/after.
this is the site that i got my sizes from to base the size of a DOUBLE quilt
