How big do any of you make a quilt for a twin size bed. I looked it up (63x87), cut the blocks and put them out on my queen size bed to arrange them and it just looks to big?
|
the twin mattress, itself, is approx 39x75. the size you are making allows about a 1 foot drop on the 3 sides. it's not too big at all.
|
you didn't figure in the seam allowances. You lose lots of inches across the laid out blocks. Ask me how I know? doing what you did-- 8^) oh, yeah, and the quilting will shrink it a bit too.

I usually go by what the person getting the quilt wants. My DH (when he was just my boyfriend/fiancee) had a twin bed, but he's also 6'4" and wanted something longer and wider for him.

I have my blocks cut at 10 and 1/2 so it will be about 60x80. Thanks and I will go ahead and put them together this way. Thanks!!

i like mine to hang over the edge of the mattress enough to keep winter chills out. so the larger, the better.

A twin bed is about 72x90 the size I make my twin size quilts.
