Measures 84" square and man, this baby is square--the corners matched perfectly when I folded it up.
Overall, I'm pleased.

Thanks! It's kind of fun to see this pop back up. There was a later post that showed the quilting.

I called it "Garden Found."

But I don't know what gaigai will call it.

Here are some updated photos.
