If you are wanting a very specific size you definitely need to allow for shrinkage from quilting and washing.
That is my plan, buy some fabric I like and make it into a quilt. They usually end up the size that takes all the fabric.
I have made 3 for my king bed, they get swapped with the seasons and the same with lap throws, they change with the seasons or my mood at the time.
I also make smaller ones for Project Linus and my grandkids.
