Queen Size Quilt ?
I am going to make a queen size quilt, but want it to be big enough to hang down the sides and long enough to pull up over too. I would like your input to what a good measurement would be. The mattress is a pillow top style mattress. Headboard and foot board are the brass style.
Thanks
Thanks

Take the measurements of the bed and then use those mesurements to figure out the size of the quilt. Might just end up being closer to the size of a King. I made my best friend a queen size top for her bed but she wanted it larger so I almost ended up piecing a king size top. Fortunately, she paid to have it quilted.

The only way to know how big is to measure it. Beds have different thicknesses, box springs and frames bring them varying distances from the floor, and we all have our preferences regarding how close to bring the quilt to the floor, whether to have a pillow tuck, whether to allow the quilt to pass between the footboard and the bed, etc.
