quilt sizes
 

my chart says mattress 60x80, batting 90x108, so hoe far over the mattress do you want it to go?

The chart I have is 86"×100". The mattress size is 60"×80" then add your drop of sides of your mattress

I found this

I don't use a chart. I measure the mattress and then add the drop to cover the mattress like Redneck Woman. Usually I have to add an extra border because most queen pattern sizes I have made are not big enough. I have a Longarm and do my own quilting so I add an extra inch to that last border to give me a bit of square up room.

i made a pdf and keep it on my QB blog http://www.quiltingboard.com/blogs/b...rt-b12736.html

I tend to make my Queens 100" square. I found that mattresses seem to be thicker so you need that little bit extra to keep it from looking skimpy.

Oh thank you so much.

As you can see, the answer is that there is no answer. While the top of a queen mattress is standard in the US, the depth of the mattress and box springs is not standard. And people have different preferences regarding pillow tuck and drop all around.

I agree with Duncan. Sizes do vary by the thickness of mattress and how long you want it to hang over the side of the bed. I ended up piecing a King size quilt for a friend who had a queen size mattress. She didn't want a dust ruffle.

Thanks so much for that chart. I printed it off and will install it in the front of my current "Quilt Fun" notebook. I print off a lot of the suggestions and helps from this board and someday.......

I think there's an error on that chart for which there's a link above. I believe the first measurements for a King Size bed, with 10" drop, should be 96" x 90". And below that, the measurements for the King Size bed, 10" drop with a 10" tuck, should be 96" x 100". Am I wrong?

I like the chart because it gives me a place to start. I tuck like crazy so I'll be adding some to the measurements to make them work for my bed.
