The Big One - Finally Done
This is by far the biggest quilt I've ever made. There are 2401 3" squares. Pattern called for 2 7/8" squares, thought I'll make them 3". Easier, I can be more exact. What's 1/8" anyway? Until you take that times 49. Set up an extra table in my studio for layout. I wound up having to make wider leaders for my quilt machine just to get it quilted. This was quite a stash buster. I got a lot of "what are you crazy?" but I had so much fun with this one. Quilted in a really vibrant gold. At least with this one my hubby can roll over a few more times before I run out of covers! (By the way, meet Cheyenne!)

That is so gorgeous!! Love the way you quilted it too. I want your dog. He is so perfectly marked that he doesn't look real and he matches the quilt!

Gorgeous I love how this turned out. Did you use a pattern or make up your own. And Cheyenne is also gorgeous I love heavily shaded sables!

December 2014 issue of "American Patchwork & Quilting". Its a BHG special interest publication. I have a subscription to this magazine and I really like it because is gives you quilting ideas in addition to simple to follow directions for constructing the quilt.

Re: The Big One - Finally Done
Oh My Goodness.....such a beautiful quilt (and pup). My DH likes a long drop on our bedroom quilts, too, but yours is absolutely amazingly long. What are the dimensions?
Yeah, and DH likes to roll over and take the quilt with him. Someday I am going to wake up with a burrito.

Its 128.5" square. I put a 3" border all the way around because my quilt machine gets futzsy without one.
Loved your "wake up with a burrito". At least it requires the bed to be made everyday. My mother would be so pleased.
