The small inner border is 1/2 inch wide and the outer border is 2 inches. So the overall size is 33 x 41...which of course can be changed up depending on how much border treatment you give your quilt. I didn't have enough material to give it any more, but I like the way it turned out anyway.

I LOVE it!
I use to use minky for all my kids quilt backs. Now I use the ultra cuddle fabric from Joann's What I do is quilt the top to the batting. Baste the edges and toss it in the washer then dry it to make sure that it is going to shrink 100%, then I baste it onto the backing and quilt just enough to hold the backing in place. Then bind just like normal. This way the top and batting shrinks and you don't have to worry about a baggy back! :) I don't find it very hard to work with as long as you use a walking foot if your going to do it on a regular machine!
