58 by 68 inches. I looked up on the internet how to smoothly finish binding, and got recommendations from a quilt mailing list I am on. I had to tussle with the quilt, and the first time I tried it I twisted one end of the binding. I almost cried. But I unsewed the binding ends, untwisted the binding and tried again. It worked! And I can tell you that the directions given for double fold binding also works for single fold binding.

Fabulous job! Congratulations on sticking with it to the glorious end. What a beautiful masterpiece!
Congratulations!
It looks great! I love that pattern and the scrappy goodness of it. The binding and finishing of it continues to keep me away from buying that Accuquilt die for now. Thanks for sharing your struggle. I have other things on my bucket list right now.
It is beautiful! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap! Definitely a finish to be proud of.
