Measurements are approximate.

   Several factors are to be considered when deciding what size to make a quilt such as your block size, borders and sashings.  Also, the purpose you would like your quilt to serve needs to be determined when beginning your project.  If you quilt is to be a coverlet or comforter, it will rest on the top of your bed with out any hanging over the edge.  If you are making your quilt a bedspread, you must add to your measurements to allow for hanging on each side and at the bottom, as well as a pillow tuck a the top.
