Thanks, Joellyn....I like my son too.
He is a good thinker.
I am currently thinking that maybe an 8 inch border might be big enough. That would make it 84" x 100". My son is currently sleeping in the bed in question, so I figured it might be polite to wait until later to measure...
I am afraid that continuing the design, leaving me with 2/3 of a diamond on each side, might just look strange. And a full diamond makes it bigger than I want to deal with.
Trying not to think about it isn't working too well. Like you mentioned, I am one of those folks who has to finish a quilt once I start. So, well, guess I will just think about it anyway, but while I mow... that way I am, at least, not rushing into it...yet.
