    I noticed that the top and bottom fences looked odd. Found out that they were 8.5" wide instead of the 10" they should be. I adjusted the border dimensions, which means adjusting the body dimensions, which means adjusting everything else too.

    Finally got all of the pieces in the size I want. Everything is finished size to the 1", which is really convenient for cutting. I had to make the top and bottom border strips an inch wider but they are bordered in red on the panel anyway so there should be fudging room there without it looking strange.

    I have all the fabric requirements including a 2 1/4" border on the outside of the quilt so it accounts for binding. The dimensions are 70" x 88".

    Pattern all figured out with directions. Now to test it...

    The fabric is ordered along with the fabric for his two sisters' quilts.

    How about a baby one? With baby farm fabric...

    So many possibilities to tailor it to what the child likes.
