The reason the quilt doesn't look square is because you are looking at it from above. It's called perspective. When you look down the railroad tracks, they seem to get closer together the farther down the tracks you look., but you know they don't. That's why the bottom of the quilt seems smaller than the top. It's farther away from you.

I like it, but it is more quilted than I like for this quilt. And may be past my abilities are at this time. I've done several years of pantos, but am really just getting started into FMQ. That's what I'm focusing on at this time. Also, this fabric is a little stiffer than I like. I'm afraid if I quilt it too much it wouldn't be something to cuddle up with. The two darker blues and the hot pink are the same fabric line and even though they have been washed several times, they just don't cuddle like I want.

I like the panto you picked, and I think it will be lovely. But depending on the scale, it looks like it may be pretty dense too from the picture you posted.
