Beautiful!! If the panel side is to short, I would put a blue border around it. It would match the other side.

@bstock...good idea...I know I have enough blue if I piece them together...its wide enough just not long enough.

​Both front and back are great! Is the Tumbler blocks the back? It would be easier to insert another row into it.

the tumbler side is the front. That is the one my son designed...he is 27 years old...he wants it for the couch and also when he is off on duty and training. I had made him one a few years ago. One of my first quilts...when I had no idea how to bind...it is really nice and warm but too short. He wanted a quilt that covers his feet and head...this one will. He takes the other one with him to sleep in the car on way to base...or when on the base training...I was thrilled when he asked me to make him another one...and surprised when he requested the Cat in the Hat..Dr. Suess. He still is a kid at heart...Love him...

If the tumblers is the front and it's 2 inches out you can either cut down the border to fit or do an extra wide binding to go further down onto the back?
