Is This Queen Sized Quilt Large Enough?
I'm working on a pair of quilts for my brother & SIL's granddaughters for their Christmas presents. One GD is 13 and the other 15. My SIL asked that they be queen sized quilts since the girls will eventually be in queen sized beds (are currently in double beds).
The quilt for the 13 yo is finished and ended up a good sized queen at 85.5" wide by 103" long.
With the second quilt I made some changes to my original plan, and the quilt top is just 80" wide by 100" long. That will only allow for a 10" drop once it is on a queen bed. I plan to bind it with a flanged binding with the multi colour cat fabric as the flange and black as the binding.
I've attached a picture of the finished top (hanging sideways from my rail). I ended with a piano key border and all the pictures I've looked at, they don't seem to put another border after the piano key. I don't want to do anything that detracts from the look of the quilt, but I also don't want to send a quilt that ends up being skimpy at some time. Or should I not worry about the future? I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
