Thanks so much to all of you for all of your great comments! What I meant by "some don't consider it a quilt" is just that some people don't consider it a quilt if it doesn't have the batting and all the fancy long arm stitching. No offense intended to anyone, I think that those type quilts are beautiful too. I did work very hard on this piece, all I have is a regular Kenmore sewing machine that is 40+ yrs old, a card table with my alto quiltcut2 on it, and limited space to work, so it is difficult to work on a piece this size, it measures 75" x 100". Not going to tackle another one this size for a long long time! Love doing throws, couch-size blankets, and baby quilts!
