King Bed Quilt Information
Use this search feature to quickly find the information you're looking for
King bed quilt sizes can vary so you need to work out the exact size you want to make, how much batting you will need and how much backing fabric to use. My fabric guide is on the generous side. This allows for fabric width discrepancies, removal of salvages and shrinkage variations from prewashing your fabric. Photo Courtesy of TammyThe information in the chart below is a guide only. I have based my calculations on the following data: * 45" (115cm) wide fabric * fabric is being cut with a rotary cutter * fabric is washed * batting is 2" (5cm) wider on all sides * backing fabric is 6" (15cm) wider on all sides * binding is double fold, cut width 2 1/2" (6.5cm)
When purchasing fabrics for my own quilts I always buy a bit more than I need as I have sometimes run out and gone back to the shop for more fabric only to find out they have sold out! How much extra fabric to buy is not always easy to determine. There are several ways of buying extra fabric: * Buy an extra 1/4yd (25cm) * Buy an extra fat quarter I now prefer to have leftover fabric - it comes in handy if I change my mind about the design or make a mistake when either cutting or sewing.
