I love the colors of your quilt-to-be :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923722443236940719.post-28599494210801582042010-06-06T15:36:39.539+00:002010-06-06T15:36:39.539+00:00Thanks everyone ... gives me a little more confide...Thanks everyone ... gives me a little more confidence as this thing grows in size! <br /><br />@Glenn I am also using a standard size sewing machine ... I have Juki on my wish list, but it's still a few months away from a budget perspective, but it won't be a long arm, just but will have a larger opening.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467253761627809697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923722443236940719.post-85325882079012038392010-06-06T00:42:19.424+00:002010-06-06T00:42:19.424+00:00I think 86x93 is fine.

I personally like the look and feel of a king-size quilt on a queen bed, but maybe I'm a bit nutty.<br /><br />I would measure any quilt/blanket you have that feels like the right size on that particular bed and go with that.<br /><br />The quilt looks beautiful so far!Rossiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987463672893902604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923722443236940719.post-45056750214832639122010-06-05T20:43:53.374+00:002010-06-05T20:43:53.374+00:00Sounds like you did the numbers correctly.

I like your layout.<br /><br />I agree with Sarah about the length.Spicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930321182035978355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923722443236940719.post-52441551969341410002010-06-05T18:50:13.993+00:002010-06-05T18:50:13.993+00:00Measure the top of your bed, then add the amount y...Measure the top of your bed, then add the amount you would like it to overhang on each side and the bottom. Warning - put enough on the bottom, or it will come untucked at night while you are sleeping!! That should give you YOUR finished size preference. I find that I like my queen size quilt a little larger than "queen size" because my hubby and I both tend to roll over with the quilt in our possession - that way one of us doesn't end up in the cold with just the edge of the quilt! Hope this helps!Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.com
