Here it is sans final borders, which are 6" strips out of the blue yarn dye - same as sashing fabric. The quilt measures 106.5 x 96 or so. I will have to find my notes to be sure. I was a bit surprised it turned out so large, considerably larger than the measurements for the queen-sized quilt in the book. I wonder if anyone else encountered this issue?
Even though I was super careful with starching and handling, I had some issues with the bias pieces on the edges of the quilt. The sides measured 1 inch wider at the ends of the long sides vs. the measurement through the center of the quilt and an half an inch variance on the crosswise edges. I cut my borders for the average length, calculating the difference between the center and end measurements and easing with pins. Hope that makes sense? Anyway, I'm hoping the quilt lies flatter and I won't have any issues quilting this behemoth.
