You did a great job. Let them figure out how to use it. I know they will love it.

Not too long at all. I just did one that was 90 x 132"...so they could use it like a bedspread.

That's with bigger borders on the sides than the top/bottom. My, oh my! Now I know if I need that size block to limit the quilt to 16 blocks and let them know it will be square. I've used this template for 12 tees and it worked just fine. Is this stupidly long? Just back it and call it good?

The extra length is for tucking in the toes. Being tall makes it nicer.

Nicely done

It looks great! Are they over 6' tall? :)

Love the idea is changing the blocks to 5 x 4 - will definitely use that. Thanks. Yes, the boy/man it is for is 6'3".

Call it good and done. I like it. Where do you live? I'm from Texas too.

I don't think it is too long. I would rather have it a few inches too long than too short.
