ok, I finished this a little while ago. I didn't measure with a ruler or anything from one row to the next and I suppose that would be a good thing to do if it's an important quilt - (in other words, I'll do that from now on 8) :lol: ...maybe)
but for 'eyeballing' it turned out pretty good.
I got some 60wt cotton bobbin thread (Madiera from the Sewphisticated Stitcher:
http://www.thesewphisticatedstitcher...ucoboth10.html and it works great
I know people complain about the cost of shipping for thread - this was $6.46 for two spools - and it wasn't nearly as heavy as the big spools from longcreek) All I know is, thread costs boo coo bucks even at wallyworld and bobbin thread is outrageous - something like $8 for a tiny little spool of polyester thread....)
Anyway, here's the quilt and back finished:
