Well, it came together surprisingly just how I pictured it my head. I love when that happens, don't you?
But now it sits in our basement (has for more than a month actually) while I ponder how to quilt it. It's the largest quilt I've ever pieced together (6 feet by 7 feet) and I worry my little basic Janome may not be up for the task. I'm even considering hand quilting it, which means Ted won't get this quilt until next year if he's lucky.
I'll be posting a tutorial for this quilt, probably before I get the quilt finished at the rate I'm going. Stay tuned.

I know this sounds crazy, but could you send it out to someone with a longarm quilter? My mom sends all of her big quilts to a lady, I think it runs about $100 to do it.
I have no idea what any part of this blog post means, but let me just say, that's a damn good looking quilt.
I love it! Oh how I love gray. Not sure what that says about my personality, but I do love the gray. It's lovely.
it looks so beautiful. i love the gray
Ted is lucky either way....he'll still get his quilt and it's lovely...(will he mind if I call it lovely?). Excellent colours and superbly manly.
This one is looking awesome! I've seen it in person in a couple of stages but never pictured it this cool looking Cara.

I love how you took your passion of sewing and included a gift for your husband...
Beautiful quilt!
Oh my gosh it's beautiful! I shouldn't be one to talk, since I've never quilted anything that big either, but according to all of the advice I have been given there isn't any reason you shouldn't be able to quilt something that big on your home machine. A lot of quilters I know do it. I'm about to try it myself as soon as I get my fiance's quilt laid out.
I really love this top, colours are beautiful ! Hugs from France
When you finish it will you email it to us so we can feature you at quiltstory? Love it! Thanks for linking.

You did an awesome job on this! I love it! :)
