Great question, and I am sure this will help a lot of us.

So 76+30+4= 110 wide

Now Do you want the quilt to go over just the top of the pillows or tuck in? I probably would do 80" + 15" + 2" = 97" for under pillows. I probably would add 6" to that # if to go over the pillows and if tucked I would add the additional 15".

So tucked would be 80+15+2+15= 112

110x112

this comes out to 110x110
