One of the first quilts I did on my LA was this pattern. My mom had made it over 30 years ago, for my sister's wedding. My mom wasn't a real experienced quilter, and this one had some serious issues. It was about 5" larger across the middle than on the sides, and that was not considering the borders.
I did a lot of motif quilting, so I could ease in the puffiness and it turned out fine.
