56 x 68
I saw a quilt on pinterest that I liked, but I didn't want to make a 82 x 98 inch quilt! Lap quilt size was what I wanted. So I started drawing on my graph paper to get the size down. I ended up turning the pattern on its side and cutting it down to about half. Here is a link to the original free pattern. You have to scroll down a ways to get to it.
Instead of following the pattern, I counted squares, cut them, and laid them out on my design wall. I cut the white centers at 6.5 inches. I sewed vertical strip sections, working around the white centers until I had sewn sets of columns.
I used the rest of the daffodil fabric on the back because it was one of those unwanted fabrics on my shelf. I think this pattern turned that unwanted fabric into a wanted quilt! Love it!
Your quilt is just beautiful. The colors just glow and I love this design, too.
