Then I went with Judy to quilt club at Ben Franklin and that inspired me to finish the logcabin I started when we went to quilt retreat in November. Only I forgot to take a picture of that too! I did get three pictures of other settings with the quarter-quilts that I made. I must say it was much easier handling a large quilt by putting it together in quarters. You will have to wait for my next post to see what setting I chose.
I am undecided about the border. I border nearly everything and I am not sure I want to add one to this. It now measures about 88" square. I like that size for a bed and realize the quilting will take up several inches. So I might just add a narrow border. I am really curious what size quilts you like to use on your beds. This information probably would have helped me more earlier when I wrote the last 8 books, but I am curious now cause my gals are coming over for quilting in a few minutes and we always pretend to argue over the perfect size quilt. So, please, do tell. More later.

Gorgeous log cabin!! For our queen size bed, I always make my tops 99" square. Once quilted (I lose about 3-4") it fits perfectly without having to use a dust ruffle but doesn't drag on the floor.
I make my tops right around 95" square for our queen sized bed too. We have thicker mattresses, and I like my quilts to be long enough to cover the boxspring too.
