The top of most queen sized mattresses is 60 x 80 inches. They vary in thickness.
You have to decide how much overhang you want and if you want a pillow tuck. (I put pillows on top of the quilt - but that's my preference.)
You also need to accommodate the pattern you are using. So it doesn't have to be exactly the same overhang on the end as it is on the sides.
