Quilting Daily
2 Comments
✓Get creative with your log cabins by joining our newest interactive workshop!
Log Cabin Block Variations with Kate Colleran starts August 15.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never second guess standard quilt sizes for beds again! Use this information as
a guide to planning a quilt for a particular bed. Factors to consider are the
mattress size, the mattress thickness, the amount of drop you desire, whether or
not to include a pillow tuck, desired distance from the floor, and “take-up”
caused by the quilting itself. Check out the extremely helpful and timeless
information found below as well as infographics that provide readers with
printable guides for sizing bed quilts, and directions and formulas. Happy bed
quilting!

SUGGESTED STANDARD QUILT SIZES FOR BEDS
Our suggested quilt size dimensions are based in most cases on a mattress depth
of 15″. No extra length is included for a pillow tuck. Quilting, if moderate to
heavy, may reduce the finished size of your quilt by 1″ to 3″ or more and should
be considered when planning the finished size of your quilt.

How to Calculate Quilt Size for Bed Type (covering mattress top, sides, and
foot): Measure mattress width (W), length (L), and depth or thickness (D).
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A PDF CONTAINING DIRECTIONS AND THE FORMULA!
For example: Mattress width of 60″, length of 80″, depth of 12″
1. 60″ + (2 x 12″) = 84″ (ideal quilt width)
2. 80″ + 12″ = 92″ (ideal quilt length)
3. Quilt pattern should ideally finish at 84″ x 92″ for this bed.
Add more for pillow tuck (add 10″ to ideal quilt length), heavy quilting, longer
desired drops, etc.
