What is Queen Size?
What finished size do you make a queen size quilt and why?
|
Anywhere from as small as 75 x 75 to as large as 90 x 108. Depends on the design as I don't always follow a pattern. I am not as concerned about drop as some people are. I like for it to cover the mattress but if it doesn't that is ok too.
|
I have neutral chenille bedspreads on my beds and I make the quilts whatever size the pattern says. The quilts are then more of an accent. I like to change my quilts frequently.
|
I like them so they are long enough to cover the top mattress on the sides and the same amount of overhang at the foot. I like the top end to just come up to the headboard and go under the pillows. So it mostly depends on how deep the mattress is.
|
depends on the quilt pattern & mattress thickness. There's no set size I've made. All different.
|
Mine are so fatten 90" X 100" that just fits my bed nicely. If for someone else I ask questions...mattress size, height, amount of side overhang desired, pillow tuck? What ever else seems relavent and I make the quilt to fit what they want.
|
A queen mattress is 60 x 80, so I make my quilts as close as I can to 80 x 90. That is the mattress size plus a 10 in drop on both sides and at the bottom. If it happens to be a little more or less, it doesn't matter to me.

my daughters queen sleigh bed is getting an 84"x90"--she did not want it to cover the sleigh rails (said she paid well for that bed!) and since there's a foot board and didn't want the pillows covered, that's the size we measured.
|
I use to make my queen size quilts 90x108 because that was the size that Hobbs batting comes in.
|
My projects are for queen and twin. 2 queen and 4 twin. I've done crib size.
