What is the overall size of the quilt? How will I know when you post a photo??

I think anyone is capable of doing this. All it takes is a bit of "sticktoitiveness". And yes you are absolutely correct that the design of the peicing will often dictate the quilting design. This quilt measures about 82" square and because it is a medallion style it gave me a lot of open space that needed quilting. I always had a kind of idea of what I wanted to incorporate into the quilting when I was designing this quilt so I purposely left several big open spaces for the handquilting.
I don't want to post any more pictures of this quilt until it is done so you will just have to hang around the quiltboard for at least another year :lol: :wink: I don't know about you but I regularly haunt the pictures section, especially new posts but I understand your delimma, I can't tell you how many times I have seen older posts come back up with a new post on them of a picture and I think, How the heck did I miss that one!
