I had already added the border blocks, when oldest daughter informed me she is going to a king, not a queen bed size. 🙄😩 I did Google and King sizes are all over the place. I need to know what YOUR size is. She plans to have it drop over the sides of a deep mattress and use a bed skirt with it. Thanks for any help. Toogie
So many replies that are so repetitious. A standard king-size mattress top measures 80"x80'. A cal king measures 76"x84". Have the person decide the amount of overhang on each side of the mattress, plus the depth of the mattress. Same for the foot overhang. Does the person want to tuck under pillows or use shams? That's personal. Personally, I like to pull my quilt over my pillows and tuck it. Add the depth of your pillows plus however much you want for the tuck.
