Thanks MarthaT ... I will be in touch though ....
The first question I know I have is that I'm having it long arm quilted, so the front/batting/back will be all in one piece. Your size is about what I want ... don't want a huge ruffle, just a gentle one.
And the second question more clarification ... you have joined the strips on the bias, though the strips are cut on the straight. Right?
Thanks again!

I put the ruffle on after I hand quilted it. Should be able to do it after longarming. Keep the quilting about 1 inch away from the edges of the quilt. Sew the ruffle on the top side and turn under and hand stitch the back side.
Yes, the strips are cut on the straight of grain and were joined by laying on top of each other to form and L shape and sew from corner to corner, making a bias joint. Trim to 1/4 inch seams and press open. This eliminates bulk in the seam. (That's where the triangles came from for the doll quilt.)
