How to size a quilt for your bed
Width = mattress width + 2 × drop. Length = mattress length + drop + pillow tuck. The drop is how far the quilt hangs over the sides and foot: about 10″ just covers the mattress (a coverlet), 12″–15″ covers a deep or pillow-top mattress, and 18″ or more reaches toward the floor (a bedspread). A pillow tuck adds about 10″ at the head.
Why does our queen say 84 × 102 when queen patterns say 90 × 108? Both are right. 84 × 102 is a 12″ drop on a 60″ × 80″ mattress; 90 × 108 is a 15″ drop with a 13″ tuck, sized for today's thicker mattresses. Measure from the top of your mattress to where you want the edge to fall, and use that as your drop.
