It measures 66" x 78" which is a large throw size. Since a twin mattress is 75" long this wouldn't qualify as a twin quilt. I could add borders. The fabric to the left of the top is the backing fabric. I bought it on sale for less than $5 a yard on one of equilter's good sales in March. I knew I was going to make a yellow quilt some day.
Here is one fabric I tried for a border. It is more orange than gold and has a painterly look like a batik but it is not a batik.
I am undecided whether it needs a border right now.
While I was cutting the squares for the quilt top I also cut 1.5", 2" and 2.5" strips. Altogether I cut up 12 yards of fabric. Now the yellows fit on the shelf better.
I also cut the selvage off each 17" length before I cut the squares and strips. The short pieces are mostly selvages without words or color dots that were left after cutting the 6.5" squares from a strip.
Fireworks are illegal in IL but you would never know if from all the noise coming from back yards. A couple booms were extremely loud like I imagine that dynamite would sound like. I just don't see what the thrill is making all of that noise. I sound like a little old lady don't I?
