Quilt Sizes

Twin Quilt

A quilt sized for a twin bed, typically 60×80 to 70×90 inches.

A twin quilt is made to fit a standard twin mattress (38×75 inches) with enough drop on the sides and foot to look properly made-up. A basic twin quilt is 60×80 inches; a generous twin with full side drops is 70×90 inches. Twin quilts are the first bed-size quilts many quilters make because they are significantly more manageable than queen or king quilts while still being a 'real' bed quilt.
