Quilt Sizes Chart: Baby, Throw, Queen & More

Hello, my quilty friends!

If you've ever found yourself squinting at your fabric stash and wondering how big is a twin again? or what size even IS a lap quilt?, you're not alone. Figuring out quilt sizes can feel like quilting math meets mystery novel. So I made you a handy little guide—a quilt sizes chart that lays it all out. No more second-guessing. Just straight-up measurements for real-life quilty scenarios.

Quilt Sizes Chart (aka: Your New BFF)

Here’s a breakdown of the most common quilt sizes. These aren’t set in stone—more like soft suggestions (see what I did there?)—so feel free to adjust based on your personal snuggle style.

        
How Much Wiggle Room Do I Need?

Here’s the thing: mattress depths vary, people sleep diagonally, and pets always hog the quilt. So if you like a little extra overhang or you’re dealing with a deep mattress, it’s totally okay to size up.

Planning Tip: Quilt Math Doesn’t Have to Be Scary

Once you pick your quilt size, it makes everything else easier—like figuring out how many blocks you’ll need, how much fabric to cut, and how many snacks you’ll need to fuel your cutting marathon (spoiler: a lot).

Wait... What If I Just Want a Quilt That Feels Right?

Listen, not all quilts are destined for beds. Some are made for couches, walls, picnics, or just because that fabric line whispered sweet nothings to you. Your quilt, your rules. You do you.

So go ahead—bookmark this chart, pin it to your sewing room wall, or tattoo it on your arm (kidding... mostly). Next time you’re dreaming up a new project, you’ll know exactly where to start.

Happy making,
