Default Finished with my very first quilt top!

Hello all, I'm finished with my very first quilt top. I've attached a picture. It was a lot harder than I thought. My sashing has a few puckers as well as some of my blocks. Not sure what really happened but I followed a printed pattern and the finished quilt size is supposed to be 61x72. When I measure my quilt from corner to corner it's 92.5". At least it's square! I know I probably shouldn't have made my first quilt so large, but wanted to make something that I would be able to use. I'm thinking of doing straight stitch quilting around the blocks. I've never quilted before, but will be doing it on my sewing machine. I have my walking foot and will probably pin instead of spray basting, in case I mess up and have to redo, I won't have a sticky mess. Any suggestions on what other type of quilting I should do besides the straight stitching around the blocks? Thank you all for your help and or suggestions![ATTACH=CONFIG]566485[/ATTACH]
