Questions
What size is a queen quilt?

About 70 × 90 inches (178 × 229 cm), for a 38 × 75 inch twin mattress.
What size is a throw quilt?

How do I work out a quilt size for my bed?
Measure the mattress and decide how far the quilt should hang over the sides (the drop, often 12 to 16 inches). Quilt width = mattress width + 2 × drop. Quilt length = mattress length + drop at the foot + about 12 inches to tuck under the pillows.
What size batting do I buy?
Batting should be about 4 inches bigger than the quilt on every side. Packaged batting comes in crib, twin, full, queen and king sizes; the quilt calculator picks the one that fits.
