I'd make the center "off-center" intentionally to add interest to the setting. My quilt had nine blocks down, and it was off center. I wanted extra length so the quilt would tuck under my mattress.
Thank you for replying.
I thought yours was 6x9 blocks and I like the 'off-center' layout, so yours works out to approx. 60"x 90".
I wanted a bit wider and less length, so I thought a 7X8 layout. Guess I could add a border but I don't want to do that.
Decisions, decisions.
