chart on quilt sizes

Thank you, Karen for all the great links. Much appreciated. Jude

You are very welcome!

This is a handy info sheet to keep with my quilting things. I'm wondering, and this will show my ignorance, but what is the difference between a drop and a tuck? It's 10 inches more for a tuck. Is that because people actually tuck the ends of a quilt under the mattress? Is that what that means?

here is a link about a tuck quilt (to cover up the pillows on the bed)

Thank you, you always are so very quick to help!!
When do you find any time to do anything else????

Thank you. Now I know. So, you'd make the quilt 10 - 18 inches longer for it to go up and over the pillows. Got it. Thanks! I've also bookmarked the site for future reference.

That site is great as well you really go out of your way to help, thanks so much.
