Well, believe it or not the largest quilt I machine quilted was an over-size king quilt roughly 110 x 110. Was it my best work - no, did I learn a lot - yes. Some how I managed to get that sucker under the throat plate and did stitch in the ditch quilting. I did try to start in the middle and work outward, but I did the blocks first, then the sashing, which was probably not the right choice. My husband picked out the pattern - a pieced basket crib quilt. I thought, well, I just need to make more blocks, which I did, and when I thought I had sewn enough, my husband decided (after looking at all the basket blocks) that I had become a basket case, hence the name of the quilt -"Basket Case". I didn't really know anyone who quilted, so I just used quilt magazines for help and since no one told me I couldn't do it, I did it. So - for those newbie quilters - just go for it, you'll be glad you did - I certainly was. Besides, after doing an over-sized king quilt, smaller quilts were a breeze. lol
