Is 81× 88 big enough for a King?

A standard king mattress is 76x80", so you would have 2.5" overhang on each side, and 8" overhang at the foot (assuming no pillow tuck). I would definitely try to enlarge it, unless it's going to be used over top of a more generously sized quilt or bedspread.

It will fit a king size bed (with no drape included). My king size mattress is 79x 81. A California King mattress is roughly 72 x 84 inches.
With a drape, it will be more like 110" x 108" give or take.
Google says a king size mattress is about 76 x 80
Missouri Star Quilt Co put out a chart with quilt sizes here:

Edit: oops...looks like we posted at the same time, Jennifer.

Big enough if you want it as a quilt as it covers the top of the bed.
Not big enough, for the humps of people under that quilt ... without fighting!
Not big enough for a "bedspread" quilt ... as already mentioned by others.
What fits for others king beds, may or may not work for you.
A lot of variation on sizes according to .....
* mattress depth
* height of bed from floor
* do you want pillow tuck allowance?
* drape desired on sides
* is there a footboard to tuck into? or drape required there
There's probably some other factors, but this is a start.
