Quilt Question:
What are the different sizes of mattresses? Sometimes the small quilt sizes are confusing, because they are throws and not sized for real beds.

Quilt Answer:
You are correct, there are many odd sizes of quilts in the patterns today. Even a pattern that is labeled as “Queen” may not fit your mattress. Besides the length and width of the top of the mattress, you need to allow for the drop on the sides, and whether or not you want to have enough quilt for a pillow-fold at the top.

Here are the standard mattress sizes, in US inches, giving the measurements of the length and width of the mattress.

This print is a great pebble or sandy grit look. Goes with yesterday’s chickens, or use it for any kind of neutral.

Nice texture print with some great design possibilities.

I used to keep chickens, and I loved the fresh eggs. The hens really kept down bugs, too. I could pen them in a small area for a few days, and they’d scratch and eat every weed and seed in the area, leaving it in great shape to till and plant . . . fertilized and all.

Here is a chicken print fabric I really like. See what you think.
