I'm making a quilt as a wedding present to the couple getting married over Labor Day weekend. The bride chose a quilt she liked from photographs of quilts I've made. Her favorite by far was one I made in 2000 for friends who live in Inverness, blues and greens and suggestive of nature, which is right up this couple's alley (see detail of quilt, below).
Last night, I finished the horizontal piecing--hurray!--and then had doubts. The groom is very tall. The bride is also quite tall.
So I e-mailed Scott, the groom, who is beginning his residency in ER medicine at Duke University and about to get married and has a hurricane bearing down on him, and asked how tall he is. The answer arrived promptly this morning: 6'4". The current version is 72" long.
My question: How long does a quilt have to be so that a 6'4" man can take a couch nap with his feet fully covered?
