It's queen size... eithre 92x92 or 96x96, I'd have to look at the pattern again to be sure.

It IS in blue and yellows though I know it looks black in the pictures. :D The fabric is called Indigo, Pewter and Honey. I realized that Blue and Silver are the Dallas Cowboy colors and the man that it is for just loves the Cowboys.

That's sure to be good then. Hopefully he loves it as much as we all do!

I get off work at 2:30 today for a 3-day weekend. Maybe I can get the no diamonds top done this weekend.

Pam, I love the first one, but how would you get that border?

The outer border would be swags. I've never done swags and I assume it would need to be appliqued.
