The finished size should be about 44 x 55 after the borders are on.

That is what I am aiming for. Now need to get off the computer and start sewing.

Top is done, border fabrics cut. Perhaps tomorrow is the finish day. FYI, my top without borders measures 34 1/2" x 46". It took me longer than expected because when it was almost done and on the design wall I noticed something was wrong. :mad: I had sewn one block in the set incorrectly. So, Jack (AKA the ripper) and I spent some time together fixing the problem.

LOL It does make for a long day BUT the thrill of having it done in a day is worth it :) did you show it off at work ?

Yes. Everyone liked it. One girl thought we were hand quilting. lol I was like "are you crazy". You can't quilt that in one day by hand. lol

You did good and make me (as the designer) proud! :)

Top is finished, whooo hoooo! Well almost, I may add a larger black border to increase the size.

Tango the Quilt Inspector finally got around to checking the top out and Lonesome the Labrador agrees that a black border should be considered. I wish we had some sunlight today so the colors would pop.
