I didn't measure it as I had allowed for the 3-5% shrinkage. Just got the two pieces laid out to trim for LAQ and thank goodness they weren't wonky lengthwise. Will be a couple of inches short on length but I put in a generous pillow tuck and am using Quilter's Dream so little future shrinkage. Hancock's rep went and had the fabrics measured - she told me they were 108". I used another one Wilmington backing for a bed skirt and had about 4% shrinkage on that one- measured before and after. This is for a whole cloth quilt for a relative who just wanted a "plain quilt". Too close for my comfort! Will post after it is quilted.
