I cut it down before I saw a tutorial saying to leave about 1/4" batting to give it that "full" look. I will be doing that the next quilt, I have another jelly roll race quilt in waiting for this one to be done. When you leave the 1/4" of batting I am assuming the backing to the edge of the batting, is that right? And then you trim the edge of the top down with scissors?

I trim both batting and backing larger than the top. If you have not seen yours on yet, just line the binding 1/4 in from the edge of your quilt

What size do you consider King size? Or is there an average size?
