My helpers were holding it down while the wind was blowing :) I am still working out the batting and backing, really just crossing my fingers! Part of the quilt-along this week is a long-arm quilting giveaway :)
I'm super behind in my reader - I can't seem to keep up with it since school's been out! Maybe I'll do that tomorrow instead of sewing . . . maybe :)
Blessings~

ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice that it was sunny today? I love the rain, but it's summer time!
Love your quilt top!
ReplyDeleteAmy its gorgeous! Good job with the helpers too!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt top. It is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove & blessings from NC!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt (and cute kids too!!)
ReplyDeleteI suspect you used more than the suggested amount of fabric.
That quilt is going to be HUGE!!!
Good luck with it.
ANdi :-)
I love that quilt! the colors are so bright and wonderful! keep up the great quilting i'm seeing!
ReplyDeleteAmy - it's really spectacular. I hope you had fun putting it together. I can't wait to see it in the next phases!
ReplyDeleteYay! It looks fantastic! I love them big, I don't often do small quilts. I think big quilts are so useful. I love your colors.
ReplyDeleteWow, Amy, it is huge! and beautiful! You should be so proud! This will be so fun to snuggle under.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt and so lovely and big !
ReplyDeleteI ♥ it so much! I love the colors together.
ReplyDeleteThe colours are beautiful. I would keep on sewing. There is always time for reading later. (I can't believe I just said that. I have been a reader all my life).
ReplyDeleteIt looks like many flavors of ice cream all swirled together. Good enough to eat but I'd rather curl up on a couch or snuggle down in the bed with such a quilt. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely beautiful and HUGE! R u quilting it yourself? Wow, I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteWow is that beautiful, and BIG! I love the colors. It's going to be a real treat the first time you snuggle under it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous!!! How many more half yards did you use than the original 12?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a big quilt. Very beautiful and will look so great on a bed. I make so many baby and throw quilts it is always nice (although a pain at times) to make one that actually fits a bed. Anyway - just wanted to suggest looking for a king flat sheet for your back. That way there is no piecing involved and anyways backing of that size can get expensive quick because they require so much fabric. I've often been able to find a really nice top sheet at places like TJMaxx or outlet linen stores at great prices. Can't wait to see it finished! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!!!!!!!!! What more can be said.
ReplyDeleteAmy its great, mine sis so lcose to being able to fit my bed that Im going to put some sashing on it to get the prefect fit. My square ended up 12.25. I took photos it on my list to post later. How goes the color picking for the back get to joanne with that good coupon yet. We go today, wish me luck. The quilt is beautiful keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteIT looks so great. I love your fabrics. Did you use more than the 1/2 yard each to reach that size? Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge, beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is a big quilt. I just love that you have such good helpers. It would be nice if you would win the long-arm quilting giveaway. The more I look at the quilt the more I like it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt...good thing you have some good helpers, or your quilt might have blown away to OZ.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! How are you going to quilt it now? Do you have a longarm machine that you use?? I just bought a midarm machine, but am re-doing my room before I put it up because I know I will never work on the room after it is up and running! I have many quilt tops waiting for it to be ready!! :) Can't wait! I'm interested in what you're doing on yours!
ReplyDeleteIt's great...I had no idea the quilt would be that big!
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilt top. Cute quilt "angels" too!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and huge!!
ReplyDeleteLooks so pretty! I have 4 of my 10 rows sewn together! I am getting there:) Currently it is taking up the whole dinning room floor:) I went on a backing hunt today, I was hoping to find a pretty sheet at TJ MAX, no luck.
ReplyDeleteWow! That top IS big! It looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Dionne
It is super!! Love the colour combinations in it - bright and cheery yet warm too. How on earth are you going to fit that in your machine?
ReplyDeleteIt’s huuuuuuge! And beautiful! I hope you win the longarm quilting prize!

ReplyDeleteYour bedroom is going to look so great with that on the bed. I love the way it turned out.

ReplyDeleteThis will be an awesome quilt. My pinwheel star that I entered in the Quilt Festival was 93" X 112" and it is just right on our king size bed using the matching shams.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour combo. There is such movement in this quilt.
