Here is a photo of that one.....which turned out to be about 33 x 48 plus ruffle. Because i used so many colors, I only purchased 3/4 yard of each color - but also used the fabric guide from the tutorial. Good luck with yours, whichever method you use.[ATTACH=CONFIG]514600[/ATTACH]
OMG! I made a queen size the old way! Why couldn't I see this tutorial first? That is sew much easier! It completely removes the worst part, wrestling all that fabric and stuffing under the needle! Thank you so much for finding this for me! You are my Wednesday hero! I will say that a 3" base and a 4" top make a great baby blanket, but for adults I use 4.5" base and a 5.5" top, and do not stuff them full. If they are too full they can be uncomfortable to sleep on, and too warm to sleep under, they need to be puffs, not mountains. I will warn you though if you make a queen, you will not wash it at home. I have a huge capacity washer, and it can not handle the puff quilt. I can post a picture or you can go look at my pictures to see what we lovingly call "the monster".
