That is funny candi....our DH's have some interesting ideas, don't they? Mine won't be an everyday quilt either though...I have cats. DH doesn't want me to put ANY of my quilts on the bed due to the cats hair and pulling them with their claws. I keep telling him that I'll just make another..but no...he won't have it! LOL!
On your measurement...do you have EQ to play with your dimensions? 5" might get you a "good" size, but it might look a bit narrow...but I don't know if it will be right proportionally...know what I mean? It might though....oh...confused.....
