Quilt sizes

[stormy]

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

Is he going to tuck it in or let it hang over the railings???

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.

Lots of good info on that site, Melissa. Have copied it to a file.
Thanks.

my suggestion would be to go to a furniture store and measure it yourself.i never find a correct fit until i do it myself. good luck
