Just in case...

I measured all of my quilt tops the other day so I can start work on the backings. Unfortunately, I've already misplaced my card with all of the measurements on it! So... to keep that from happening again, I'm going to post the quilt top measurements here so I can refer to them if I need to later on (actual backing sizes are in parenthesis after the measurement):

Brian's Quilt: 82 x 90
Marquee Quilt: 86-1/2 x 104-1/2
Hopscotch: 65-1/2 x 77 (70 x 84)
Urban Windowpanes: 48-1/2 x 61-1/2 (52-1/2 x 69-1/2)
Eco Breeze: 48-1/2 x 64-1/2 (53 x 71)
Hancock's Remnant: 48-1/2 x 64-1/2 (53-1/2 x 72)
Chris' Quilt: 81-1/2 x 90

I've finished all of my smaller-sized backings, and now I need to work on the larger quilts. The one I'm dreading the most is the marquee quilt. I think I have two 4-1/2 yard pieces of fabric that I'm going to have to piece together to make that backing. I hope I bought enough because that is a BIG quilt! If nothing else, I can piece together a bunch of the leftover strips I have from the front of the quilt.

Speaking of which... I have a TON of leftover strips from the front of the quilt. I probably have enough to make ANOTHER quilt.
