LOL Thank you everyone for the kind words. There is a story behind how large it turned out. I got to the clue that gave me the 12.5 inch measurement, then my mind just shut off. When your sashing is 2" and the outside to complete the stars and border so the binding doesn't cut off the stars is a total of 8" your quilt grows by leaps an bounds. Well the twin size I intended is a thing of the past. It measures 106 X 96. Whoops!
The worst of it is, there was no noticeable dent put in my scraps.
