amma brought to my attention that along with the lined drawing being messed up I got all my blocks mixed up, too. Her rotary instructions should have the correct number of blocks. Give me a couple of days and I should come up with a chart with the correct blocks and pieces.

For a queen sized quilt, I go with a base top of 60x84. That is 5 x7 12" blocks or 35 blocks. Fits the top of the bed quite nice. Add a 12 inch border and you have 84x 108.
Might want to trim down the top and bottom borders to 8 inches. That makes the quilt top total 84x100.
Doable, looks great.

I like the red edging you have already. As to size, I would go with at least a queen. I have a standard double bed and that size quilt just doesn't have enough overhang, the queen size looks much better. However, I like the new quilted bedspreads and for those I get the double bed size. No matter, your design is terrific and I'm sure your friend will be thrilled to get this quilt.

I'm playing around with the borders right now. I'm thinking about doing a thin red and black double border (three strips, two red and one black between them) and then the thick black border I already have.

I don't think I'll be able to make this quilt. Just the cost of fabric is enough to keep me from making it---almost $50. I just don't have that kind of money right now. If I don't get started on it by next month I probably won't get it done in time for Deni's birthday and I certainly can't make a quilt without the materials, which involves money I don't have. Unless a miracle happens, I don't think I'll be able to make this quilt for Deni's birthday. :(
