Ube the finished size is 67" x 67". I made strips from my candies and alternated with black. I left the last black strips 'open' because my nana always said to leave an opening for good luck to come in. The center motif was quilted around all the elements and the rest was a meandering flower design that i made. The border is feathered. I used my midarm for the piecing and quilting. I love it - yhe picture does not do it justice.
