That depends on the size of the quilt and the pattern you select.

To determine what size to make the quilt, first determine how you want it to lay on the bed.

A standard king-size bed has an 80 x 80 top.

* Full-length quilt: drops to 1/2 inch from the floor

Dimensions: 129 " wide by 117" long, 25" drop, 12" tuck (covers pillow, no footboard)

Dimensions: 129 " wide by 92" long, 25" drop, 12" tuck (if bed has footboard)

* Blanket quilt: drops 1 inch below top of box springs

Dimensions: 116" wide by 110" long, 18" drop, 12" tuck (covers pillow, no footboard)

116" wide by 92" long, 18" drop, 12" tuck (if bed has footboard)

* Coverlet quilt: drops 3 inches below mattress

Dimensions: 106" wide by 105" long, 13" drop, 12" tuck (covers pillow, no footboard)

Dimensions: 106" wide by 92" long, 13" drop, 12" tuck (if bed has footboard) If you use a pattern book, the book should help you determine the number of blocks used for the selected dimensions.

What does the word 'quilt' mean?

Quilt has two meanings: # A decorative bed cover or wall hanging made of colored fabric pieces stitched together with a batting center and a cotton or muslin back. # One step of the process of assembling a quilt that involves stitching the layers together by hand or machine in either straight lines or patterns. This holds the material together so the batting doesn't shift or bunch, and enhances the beauty of the quilt. The exact origin of the quilt is unknown, but they have been made in many different cultures over the centuries. The oldest known remnant dates to c. 960 BCE, in Egypt.

What is meant by a wide range of values?

A wide range of values in art refers to the use of many values of light. A value scale is the easiest way to visualize this. Make 10 small squares on a page. Square 1 is solid black, square 10 is complete white, all squares in between become progressively lighter (towards the white end) or darker (the black end). This 10 square scale is a small range of values.
