Really cute quilt. You did very well. I had to pin my 1st quilt about 3 times because I bought too little batting the first time, then I realized the second time, I had too little backing. It was a queen and my fingers were so tired of all that pinning. I stitched it in the ditch and yes, it was hard at times, but I just kept on sewing. You should have no problem with a lap if that is what you want to do. You can always go back later and do more quilting on it.
