I ordered the king size for the queen size four poster Charleston bed in my guest room.  I turned the quilt 90 degrees so that the width was now the length. It fit perfectly--just enough to tuck into the side rails and long enogh to fold over the bed pillows and tuck under, the old fashioned way. The pattern is random so the 90degree rotation is not noticable. I put the king sized shams in the closet.

Pros: The quilt is soft;  the muted colors coordinate with my Chinese rug.
