The quilt measures about 84" x 98". It has a narrow inner border and a wider outer border. Adjust the size by adding one or more extra borders and/or altering the size of the two that are already in place.
I love Civil War reproduction fabrics and designed this quilt around a few favorites from that era. You can change its appearance dramatically by altering fabrics.

Remove selvages, cut in thirds and then cut one panel in half along its length. Use it in the center horizontal slot. The remaining half is not used.
