    this is the quilt i started for my son, ethan, when he was 7. now he's 40.
    i'm lucky he's a patient man who loves his mother! it started out as twin, then double and finally queen. it had a row top and bottom of blacks, but that made it way too long. it was all over the floor. now it's fine. it's 98-1/2 x 97-1/2. what happened to that extra inch?

    any opinions? LOL!

    it has been dated and i'm sure that whoever reads it in the future will think that there was a mistake made or the maker was crazy.
