    This is my scrappy english paper pieced quilt. I received my mil's fabric stash. I knew I couldn't keep it all so I cut a piece out of each one of hers and mine to make this quilt. I still have a couple rows to add to it. It is not a charm because we have some of the same fabrics and I used it out of each fabric we had. Anyway my question is can you make a quilt too big? I am going to have to hand quilt it because it won't fit in my machines (if i even knew how to fmq!) I'm getting a little nervous about it's size! Who knew we had some many fabrics!!!

    Very nice quilt! Great work!

    Can it be to big? I don't know, may be for the handquilting.
    It would take me to long.

    If you have a king bed, 120 x 120 is not too big!

    It was so easy to do! I was going to just put a cross in each one, I think. I'm not sure of any other way to get it done :)

    Well done. A bigger quilt just makes more room to snuggle under.
