Does anyone know where I can find the dimensions for different bed sizes? For example, what are the dimensions for twin, full, queen and king sized beds so I know how big to make quilts?

["Also, don't forget to think about the height of the mattress as well. This will affect how much overhang you choose to add. Standard mattresses are 8-10" thick, but some extra thick ones may be as high as 16-18" "]
many mattresses and boxes are even taller than that. are they for the princess who slept on the pea? and if you have a side rail, as i do, then you also have to think about that when you plan your drop. for my queen bed, with a 60" width, i need a 98" quilt to hit the top of the rail. isn't that ridiculous? otherwise, the boxspring shows. |
And decide if you want to fold your quilt up over your pillows or set your pillows on top of it. I prefer square quilts for my bed - A 90" quilt will hang down 15" on each side and about 15" at the foot of the queen-size bed, and I have pillows at the head of the bed, on top of that edge of the quilt. If I wanted to tuck the quilt under the front edge of the pillows and then fold it up over them, I would need to allow another 12" or so, making a quilt 90" X 102".

I found that the standard sizes listed for quilts are to small.
Best to measure your bed. |

aha, wiseguy! i have a little stepstool. otherwise, i have to throw me across the top and get my legs up one at a time.
i'm only 5'2" and the bed comes halfway up between my daisy and my waist. |
Was just wondering if you took a running jump to get on to the top of that mattress? :)
