Thank you, If I remember geometry correctly, it has a diameter of 49 inches (from side to side across the middle). Don't know what the outside circumference is. Hugs.

Very, Very Nice! to have so many quilts that I need to branch out to floor quilts! A wonderful goal! One very lucky daughter to have a prolific quilter for a mother and friend. I would hope that the things I lovingly created for people would be used and appreciated not carefully packed away, so knowing you meant it to be used on the floor makes all the difference, at least for me. This will be cherished for many years, while a child's circle skirt in the same pattern would become out grown in just a short amount of time. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us. Pam

But it is too small for a bed and being round, works well for a rug. Thank you, Hugs

It is made in strips of 18 colors then cut, sewn, and recut, and re-sewn. Just requires labeling so you know what is what. It actually makes two at one time. So, she gets twoof them. Thank you, Hugs

Make it the same as any quilt. I use fleece for the batting when I know they are for rugs. Hope that makes sense. Thank you, Hugs

I have ones on my floor that are 10 years old and go through the washer and dryer and the only complaint I have is the colors have faded. They are ok walk on. Hugs
