I've made a top that is 102 x 116
I want to send it out to be quilted
How large do I need to make the backing?
I've heard that 2 inches around is adequate - so the backing would be 106 x 120?
Please advise.

In this area (New England), most want the backing and the batting to be 6" larger than the top. So yours would need to be 108 x 122. I suggest you find a longarmer to do the quilting and ask her what she would like for the extra length and width to load it on her machine.
