It mesures about 45 inches square. I attached the butteflies and then quilted and quilted the bordrs separately too. The center is 38 inches. I guess you call this stippling. I call it apin on a regular machine. I am a novice and had all kinds of misery with it. I don't know how much was me andhow much was he machine. I probably won't do this technique again until I can get the frame from John Flynn. Also if you look closely--one of the daisies is turned the wrong way. Ididn't notice it until I was done and then it was too late. So they will just have to live with it.
