The borders are on:
The backing is complete (and taped to the floor) - made from all the left-over pieces after I finished the quilt top blocks:
And as of Wednesday, the quilt is basted and I get the use of my living room back!
This quilt is big. Too big for my living-room as it turns out. The chairs had to go, the couch had to be moved, I had no room to move once the quilt was on the floor. It measures around 97 x 108" plus all the extra backing/batting attached to it while it's pinned on the floor.
Wow.
I've also run out of pins.
I don't even think this quilt is that much bigger than the bento box wedding quilt (I think that was around 80" x 100"), but holy cow, my memory doesn't seem to last long enough to remember my struggles from May ;)
Now I'm off to quilting it!
it may be huge but it is amazing!!! it looks so beautiful
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic! I really love how some of the blocks have a little surprise in the innermost part of the block and the colors are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow that is one stunning quilt!! I don't envy you having to quilt it though :0)

That quilt turned out just beautifully! But I agree that's a bear!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I think the backing turned out great. Are you quilting this on your regular machine? That makes my arms tired just thinking about it. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the color palette.
