When I first received my instructions for this quilt, I looked at the length and width as 80'x88'. I thought that really strange to have a quilt 8 inches wider than it was long. Three days later (checking the dimensions every day), when I measured the finished size it measured 88 wide and 80 long counting the borders which go on last. To get those dimensions I added 6' blocks down each side and along the bottom, with none on the top.
Today, while I was still wondering about the weird size, I idly looked at the instructions. I blinked and read them again. They read length 88", width 80"! I couldn't believe my eyes! I had Duane read it to me before I realized what I had done the last four days!
Fortunately, this was a fairly easy fix--time consuming, but easy because the quilt was a square made of squares.
I removed the strip on the left and applied it across the top. I cut the right hand strip in half and applied the cut off strip to the left side.
Still working and playing,
Louise and Duane
