(instead of 25" - math/cutting is easier w/o half inches at this size, plus you're new - I love your avatar quilt - but you don't need the added hassle of cutting bigger than your rulers)
Perhaps making the pattern fit the top of the bed, and then doing something for the sides hanging down. A queen size mattress top measures 60" x 80" across the top, so you're talking a 20" overhang on the sides.
Just mentioning it. And congratulations.

Really good point to scale back so that the quilt makes sense on the bed.
I just measured the top+sides of the deep double bed that I have now and 80 inches would work well on it. So, I'll make an 80 inch square quilt with no border (to stay true to the barn-quilt look when it is hanging in the barn).
Thanks for the congratulations and for all of the great input! Really helpful, especially for a newbie like me who loves quilting and fabrics, but does not know what will be most effective (like staying under the 24.5 inch length of my ruler!).
