It measures 51" x 68". I used four 5" charm packs to create the simple alternating light and dark pattern of 10 x 14 rows.
After I was already into piecing it I noticed that some of the pieces were cut kind of wonky (i.e., the plaid pattern lines weren't parallel with the cut edge), so I probably should have squared them all to a slightly smaller size before piecing, but I guess we'll just say it's part of the "charm" of the quilt. :D The border, backing, and binding were all done with yardage from the same line of fabric.

No Eddie, you don't want everything all perfectly lined up. How boring is that? Your squares are perfect. What's the fun if you can't relax? Are you always going to have that quilt perfectly folded in a perfect square. Let those squares fall as they may. Great quilt.
