Quilt sizes

Post by stormy » Mon Jan 07, 2008 2:30 pm

Can anyone give me measurements for a quilt for a king-sized water bed? Quilt is a surprise for my brother - not too cool to call and ask him to measure his bed. lol

Good question, Jennifer. I think he tucks in the old thing he has now.

Here's standard bed and quilt sizes. If you want to make it where it tucks in, I would guess that you would probably want to make it about 6" larger on each side, but that's only a guess.
