..... as for the size discussion with your DH,
I see 6x7 blocks, so is this the quilt you made?
You are so right. The original was 5x7 blocks, and I made it 6x7, so it's not shorter than the original. It's wider. That makes more sense. I couldn't think of why I would have shortened it, and it turns out that I didn't. I pieced the quilt last December when I was away for the winter, but didn't quilt it until now. I guess I forgot my rationale for changing the size. The live and learn lesson should have been, think and count before you post. Thanks for the correction.
