Love how it turned out. I may consider using some of my prized Australian fabric stash to make it. I always make my king size quilts at 120"x120" and always have quilted myself. My neck and shoulders complain for a week or so after, but am always so glad when I'm done. Too frugal to send it away for quilting. The only exception I'll make is when I've put my "Oregon" quilt together. It has lighthouses, pieced trees and lovely fabric showcasing the features of this beautiful state, and I will want a lovely quilt job on it that I **haven't** done myself! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations!

Most of my quilts I make around 100 to 104 inches square and hand quilt them in 3 to 4 months - and no it's not the only thing I do I make other quilts while the hand quilting quilt is on the frame - you just need to get used to themKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983525468027485560.post-45872028174307561322017-10-05T06:40:19.645-05:002017-10-05T06:40:19.645-05:00Love the large, simple block design.
