I prefer the lengthwise strips, it makes me look thinner when I'm under the quilt. LOL

Of course you did it right...because you did it! I certainly wouldn't rip anything apart on that. But, if you really want horizontal instead, a strategically placed cut and new seam would make that beauty horizontal in a jiffy.

NO don't rip out anything. It looks really pretty. I'm trying to make one. Mine is vertical too. I'm gonna add some more, but it won't look the same. It's for my 2 yr old great grandaughter. I love yours.

It looks fine to me. The two extra strips made the size change just a little. It actually doesn't matter which way the strips run anyway.

it looks good to me. Anytime you change the number of strips and/or don't miter them together, the final size will vary from the approximate 64" x 49". Mine is about 64" x 55" b/c I used 2 1/2" squares between the strips instead of mitering them together.
