Love the quilt! My grandson (mildly autistic btw) absolutely loves puzzles. My daughter and I got some of the autism awareness fabric from Hobby Lobby this afternoon to make him a pillow. Now I'm going to HAVE to make him a puzzle quilt for Christmas!

So with the measurements provided by a few people on the board (thank you!) I redesigned the quilt to look more like a puzzle to me.
It's going to have a border all around it, which will include that blue piece off to the side . So imagine my wood floor is the border to get an idea of it. I'm just waiting to get some $$ to afford the border, since it'll be about 10" around. I might do different size border strips, but that's a 'for when I have $' concern.
