The quilt measures 42" on one side down (length), 43" on the other side (length)..its the center of the quilt. I will be adding to sides, top and bottom to complete it. Think I read somewhere to measure from the center out each time; as I am not done adding to sides and top & bottom, maybe I can adjust from center out on top and bottom...thanks everyone for your help.
Have my fingers crossed for you Honchey...may the trees stay upright, and power, if it goes off, comes back on within 6 to 12 hours.
