    It's queen size... eithre 92x92 or 96x96, I'd have to look at the pattern again to be sure.

    It IS in blue and yellows though I know it looks black in the pictures. :D The fabric is called Indigo, Pewter and Honey. I realized that Blue and Silver are the Dallas Cowboy colors and the man that it is for just loves the Cowboys.

    I get off work at 2:30 today for a 3-day weekend. Maybe I can get the no diamonds top done this weekend.
    Pam, I love the first one, but how would you get that border?

    The outer border would be swags. I've never done swags and I assume it would need to be appliqued.
