I am leaning towards 3x4... that would put the interior at about 42½ x 56½.... if I follow Bonnie's finishing sizes for inner border (1" finished) and outer border (4.5" finished) that would put the whole thing at about 53½ x 67½.... I would typically like a little bit longer quilt... closer to 70" but it would still be a good nap size.
I haven't had a chance to even lay out any pieces... I decided Thursday I needed to do an comfort quilt for my niece-in-law's Mom who is on the "better" side of terrible in her cancer battle. I don't know why I didn't think to start one sooner... they live several hours away & I only found out last weekend. Determined to finish by Sunday or Monday...should get the top done today.... my NIL doesn't know yet so I hope she's ok with this.
Not doing the Quiltbug or Merry Mayhem Mysteries but I'm going to download the steps just in case I decide to later.
Take a quilt break watch ND/OSU but it's not looking good for the Irish.
Love seeing everyone's quilt tops coming together! This is a great pattern & I think any color scheme is going to look great! Anxious to get started on my assembly!
