I like big quilts. My DH is a blanket theif, so if I made my quilts the size most people post, I would never get any of it. So I make my king size 115 inches wide. I make the center of the quilt whatever size the pattern works out to, then add what borders I like to get the width up to 115". When we had a queen bed, I liked 96-100". It is your quilt, do what makes you happy.
