Queen quilt cover on a double bed?

Question

I just bought the most beautiful quilt cover bed pack during the Christmas sales. The problem is, I only have a double bed (with a double bed quilt) but bought the queen bed size quilt cover pack because they didn't have it in double bed and I just had to have it!

So now I am stuck with a queen size quilt cover for a double bed quilt (the fitted and flat sheet and valance are not a problem since I bought them separately in double bed)...will this be a problem? Unfortunately, buying a new quilt is not an option because I completely blew my budget buying new pillows and high quality sheets:( so is there any way to make it not look so bad?

I am afraid that the extra bit of quilt cover not filled with quilt will look baggy and really obvious. One side of my bed is against a wall so some have told me to put the baggy side towards the wall and pin the quilt on the other side to the cover so it won't move around.

Any suggestions would be really helpful!

Answer 1

I have a queen-sized bed and I bought a king-sized quilt. I don't think a queen would have been wide enough with my thicker mattress.

Answer 2

The queen quilt will look find on a double bed. It won't come to the floor if you put it on the way you should.

Answer 3

always put queen covers on my double bed as i liked the look better. double always look to short.
