Toverly - when I put RT on my queen size bed, there was not enough drop on the side. All the other Bonnie Mystery Quilts (I have done 12) have been square, which usually fit my bed fine. I have often added about a 4" border because I have a higher mattress and it needs that drop. I have a several bed skirts that I use depending on the colors of the quilt. Just my personal preference. I have also bought a number of different colored Sham covers that coordinatie nicely with my different quilts.
