I did 12 across and 13 down. I am also going to put on a 2 1/2 inch border and a 6 1/2 inch border. I am going to double check...I have a 14th row done but have not sewed it...I need to check and debate...i decided not to yesterday but will check again to make sure I am making the right decision. The amount I have covers the top with about and inch left on each side. It does not go over the sides. I want to add borders to do that.
