You are finished with your quilt top!!!
Now Quilt it using your favorite technique.
It should measure 40 1/2 inches square at this point.
We realize there are quilters of all levels, beginner
to advanced. We want all to participate.
We realize that denser quilting will shrink the quilt
more than an open quilting design.
We will accept all entries, 38 - 42 inches square.
