heh heh thanks...the tips about measuring from the centre of the quilt are really good, so thanks for that. I just cut the width I wanted then sewed them in place-any left over was trimmed...but thinking about it I may have not cut them with and against the grain- you know two lenghts with and two lengths against the grain, well thats what it told me in the book I read,to keep the quilt rigid I think- but I may have had a senior moment and forgot and just did them all the one way...oops. I used double binding all the way round.
I really loved the comments about DH- yes agree, they dont have to know everything!!
