    It is 64" x 76". The pattern is called Road to Springfield. I got it from a book called Mystery Quilts by Rita Fishel. It may be available elsewhere too, not sure. I got this book for Christmas and it was purchased from Amazon...if that helps.

    I prefer #2,the blue, the white border seems to take over the quilt.

    In my opinion, in the first one with white as the inner border, the white is lost into the quilt. You don't even notice it as a border. In the second one, both borders pop because they quilt is separated by the blue border. If it were mine, I would put the blue closest to the quilt, then the white as the second border out.

    Both are very pretty but I think the second is the best.

    Beautiful work! I like #2 and your idea to bind it with the blue.

    Blue inside, too much white for me.
