My biggest quilting project was not one quilt but 15 quilts. This was actually my first attempt at making a quilt (quilts)and took me 5 years to complete. Started out by wanting to make quilts for 4 grand children but as I taught myself how to piece and needle turn applique, the family continued to grow so I kept adding more quilts. That Christmas, not only did the original 4 grandkids get quilts but also my 4 children, husband, mother-in-law and 5 additional grandkids. All were 6 ft. by 8 ft. or larger, tied not machine quilted.
Had to make 2 more for the last of the grandkids which I gave them last Christmas. Pictures were posted here (Snoopy Stars and Double Pinwheel).
Have most if not all the blocks done for another for my first great grand which I hope to finish for next Christmas.
