Im looking to made a "not too difficult" king size quilt for my bed.
Would 90x110 be king size???
Im looking at the keepsake quilting catalog and it gives their kits by dimension-not bed size.

Any thoughts?

thanks!

Kimmie, I would go with 110x110 as I did with mine. I don't like them skimpy :)

I agree, a little bigger to me is better.

thats what im afraid of too.....im not a dust ruffle person either as my bedroom is kinda contemporary.

90x108 is the size of batting for a queen size quilt. I would probably do 110x110. The bigger the better, IMO. But I make "lap quilts" big enough to fit a double bed and am making a king for my queen! My husband and I are both blanket hogs. We sleep with separate blankets for now, until I have made the king for our bed. I'm hoping it will be big enough that we can share. :D

Kimmie, in that case you may want to go even bigger. I love my King size bed but it's such a pain to make !! lol
But it's so worth it for the sleep I get.

got a card in the mail that states king is 100x92. If you have a king size bed you can measure it, I'd do that or measure a top sheet.

are there patterns out there for 110 x 110?

According to the batting I use king is 122"x122". Super queen is 93"x121". Queen is 93"x108".

For a Cal King I make 120x120. I would not go smaller then 110x110 for a King.

As for pattern I buy extra and make an extra row and add a alrger border. You can also pick some cute block and make that big enough.

I agree...with that said you might want to measure your bed and decide on how long of a drape you want on your bed as we all may prefer a different look... do you want to also use it to cover your pillows like a bedspread (which would add to your length) or do you plan on using pillow covers? All of this factors into the size you would make.....

Great advice :thumbup:

The current king top I finished is 108x96. I put the top on my bed, thinking I might want to add a border, but it seems big enough as it comes down to my side rails and hides the mattress/boxspring. 110" tall would be too big for me. I don't like the pillow fold look-I don't think it fits for a contemporary look, and then it has to be stuffed either too much at the bottom (which is sometimes hard to fit in the bed) or folded too much at the top.

measue the bed and mattress.....mattresses are different depths.
