You will have to post a picture!!! I am sure it feels good to be done. I have an almost king size top waiting to be quilted. In fact, my batting just arrived from Connecting Threads today. I have already snipped all of the threads, the backing is pieced. It was going to be $150, give or take, to send it to someone with a longarm. Decided no to that as well. Am hoping to get a Brother PQ1500S in the next 4 to 6 weeks (for the additional harp space). Kind of waiting for that, but very nervous about attempting it. I can do a decent meander - but have never tried anything that large.

Your challenge is also mine for this year - bump up my skill level with FMQ.

Can I ask what sewing machine you used for the FMQ? I have a Janome MC4800. Have contemplated cutting the batting and thirds and proceeding with the middle section first, then moving to the sides. Or wait until I have the larger throat space on the Brother. Just not sure...
