Thanks
I make all of my throws 52x80. My husband was 6'6" tall and it fit him. I love making samplers and my recipe is this - 15 12" blocks - three across, five down, 2-1'2" sashing, 4'1/2" border - makes it 52x80 and that's it.
If you want a one pattern quilt, make 24 - 12" blocks - 4 across, six down, with a four inch border - makes it 56x80
I use Quilter's Cache for my blocks - they come in different sizes, so you can make the blocks larger or smaller (meaning more or less blocks. Good luck and have fun.....and Happy New Year!!! Edie
