I am working on an afghan and when I finish I want it to fit nicely onto a queen sized bed. I want it more than just the bed though, I want to hang down at least some, so I get like a smaller coverlet.
How do I go about making this measurement? Or do anyone already know how big it would need to be?

Thanks!!

A queen mattress is 60"Wx80"L so I guess you could add on say 8 inches to each side and maybe 8 to the length so it hangs on the foot of the bed too. that would make it 76wide by 88 long

Go online and see what is for sale as far as queen comforters or bedspreads~they usually give measurements. Or go with the size of a queen flat sheet.

Jessie, If you type in a search for "queen comforter measurement" you'll get lots of sites and various measurements w/pictures of how it looks. Just pick one where you like the look as far as drape , would be my advice on doing your blankie.
