Too Big?

Too Big?
So I've been working on a CW Album quilt. The top is done, borders attached, I'm very pleased with the way it looks.
Today I started cutting 5" squares for the pieced back and it occurred to me I needed to measure the top so I'd know how many squares to cut. When I measured it, I found out this baby is 114 x 114 -- and that's without adding on the extra inches for the longarm quilting!
Anyone know the largest size a longarm quilter can handle? I know I've never made one this large before.

I think the average size for a longarm is 12', but some are smaller. (And not all the length is "quiltable".) A 12' frame could handle your quilt. Ask your longarmer if she can handle it and if not ask for a recommendation for someone who can.

You need to ask your LAQ. Tables can be anywhere between 6 feet and 14 feet. I can do a oversize king since my table is 14 feet (14X12=168). Also the neck of their machines. Talk to your LAQ, Good luck.
