i don't think 90 x 90 is too big for a king at all. by the time two bodies get into it and the edges get pulled up, you'll be glad you have that size. as it is, it gives you only a 5"+ overhang. any smaller would give you none at all.
very nice and great work and can't get any more texas than that, can you? yeehaw :thumbup:
EDIT: a king top is 78 across and 80 down. so a 90 quilt across isn't that much.
can you make a new jersey quilt? same size, please.

Go easy on your self! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I did quilt it. It's just an all over large meandering design. Quick and easy. :)
Wanted to add that you Texans crack me up. There isn't another state in the US where the citizens love it more than y'all love your state. I love it over there too so I understand why you're proud of it. :)

I think it's great! With quilts most times, the bigger they are, the better! I know we're supposed to be critical of our work, but that's only to a point. Remember to give yourself more credit than critiques :)

My mom lives back in Anchorage now. She lived for some time in Sitka but then moved to Anchorage. She's actually coming down Monday to visit her grandbabies. We're all looking forward to it.

Thank you all for your kind words. I am too critical of my own work, always have been. I need to learn to break out of that. I see other people's stuff and want to make something like it, but mine never comes out like theirs. Everyone's work is original so I need to learn to love my work as well as other people's. I think we all are guilty of being too hard on ourselves though. :)
