The quilt without the checkerboard border was 65 x 65. Another bonus of adding the top/bottom border was is made it a rectangle vs a square (which I prefer). I the borders added about 8 inches so that would make it 65 x 73. Normally I try to use the extra fabric on the back, but in this case I had enough backing fabric that I didn't need too.

Just stunning! I love Kim Diehl too and this pattern and your fabric and piecing made this a winner. Did you quilt in the ditch?
I just ordered the pattern too as I have a fat quarter bundle which will work lovely with this.

I quilted in the ditch around the stars, and did a feather kind of thing in the more open spaces. Glad to hear you are going to make it too!
