    That is very pretty. Are you going to put a border on it?

    I hope for it to be a queen at least. Although I am not totally sure the dimensions of a queen though. This is my first quilt, so I do not know what size the finished product should be. This fabric is so expensive, I do not know how many more packs I will need, it is ten dollars a pack and I have two packs in what I have. And I lot of work too. I have a total of 16 pieces for each block and I have 16 blocks so far. Therefore, if my calculations are correct, 256 pieces and it is only like 60 inches wide thus far lol...... Any thoughts anyone???? Would it be worth it to keep putting fabric into it until it is a queen size. I have border fabric already like a 2 toned green to match the leaves as they each go light to darker green (can't tell in the pics).

    Are you using charm packs or fat quarters? If so, you can probably find the fabric by the yard and it won't be so expensive. If you're making it a queen size to fit your bed -- measure across and down to see if you really want to make it that large. :D
