I made a grandmothers flower garden quilt that was quite large..... 100 x115 but I wanted it to be long enough to cover the blankets underneath and I wanted to be able to tuck my pillows in.

Thanks.

I make mine around 115x115. It is the biggest I feel comfortable doing with the standard 120x120 king size batting. I liked 100x100 when we had a queen size bed. Those will work on the king size in a pinch, but the don’t give us enough drop for 2 people to move around.

I agree the ones I've made I made 110 or larger so they hang down some and not just cover the top of bed.

Thank you all.

This quilt is a surprise gift for a family member that lives outside of the country. So I don't have a way to know how tall is her bed. I only know it is king size.

It's a chart of quilt sizes with various drop/tuck options. If it doesn't come through just google 'quilt sizes with drop and tuck'

Good Luck!

thank you so much. This chart will be very handy.
