The blocks look great! as for size I am 5'10" and I make all my curl up quilt tops to finish out at 60"x70" that way it will tuck under the feet and up around the shoulders. Now thats not the case with my youngest DD she is 6'3" and growing, so hers get to be longer. I do agree with the small white boarder then a scrappy and then another white. Just my thoughts. Keep up the good work the quilt will be just bueatiful when your finished!
