There’s lots of room for different sizes to answer this question
1. Since my bedmates (hubby and dog) steal the covers,
2. want lots of overhang to avoid drafts
3. Don’t like bed skirts
4. There’s many sizes of King…mine was California King
5. I want my quilt to hang to the floor.

With the above size mattress + my criteria for overhang….my king quilt would be128 x 106
The California King quilt was 120 x 120. It wasn’t quite wide enough.
All king quilts have been LA. In California, professional LA’s use 14 ft frames……mostly.

Since moving to Florida, all that changes.
1. The 20+ year old mattress stayed in California and replaced with standard King
2. Shark robot likes 4” clearance to clean under the bed.
3. CPAP provides plenty of breathing air, so I like to sleep with covers over my head
So a new King Quilt would be 120 long and 120 wide.

I think the recipient needs to decide on the size.
