Default This has got to be the biggest quilt ever!!

When I took this quilt top out of the box Painiac sent me, I thought "Oh my gosh!!! What a huge quilt!!" Then I got the yard stick out to see if it would even fit on my machine. Well, it did. All 112 x 118 inches of it!! I didn't have a clue as to how to quilt it with all of the raised squares with embrodiery on them. Given the size and the structure of it, I opted to just do a meandering pattern all over the whole quilt and in the blocks too. I like how it turned out! Hope she does too. What do you think?

The quilting makes the embroidery standout. It's really pretty. I just finished a quilt with applique in the hoop embroidery. I ruined it by using a bright color to quilt with and a wrong pattern. How I wish I had seen your quilt last week before I so called "finished" mine. But then there is always the next time. Thanks
