Thanks so much everyone for the nice comments on my PC Quilt. I've started laying out the backing.

QNS - the quilt measures 60 X 80.

Anael - Wow, Isa has really gained weight. Will they be releasing her to come home soon?

Jan - How did I get the borders to fit! LOL - When I first sewed the 5" squares together with the 1 1/2" strips, they did not fit (of course), even though I thought I had measured and figured out how many I needed. On the side borders I ended up taking about every other one apart and sliver cut the squares. On the top border, it was a little too small, so I took a tad smaller seam on the cream color border sashing. I just messed with it until it worked. The only thing that had to match was the corners. As you can see from a distance, you cannot tell that thy are a smidge off here and there, and that is ok with me! Most people would not notice, I don't think.

Now don't send the quilt police after me!
