These sizes are estimations.  There are several factors that can influence your decision on the quilt size.  For example, are you going to use the quilt as a throw, bedspread, or cover layer?  Are you going to put a border around the design?  If you are making a bedspread, do you have a dust ruffle on your bed and how close to the floor do you want the quilt to stop?
