WOW!! 126" x 140" sounds like medieval-tapestry-sized!

I feel your pain - my first quilt was a 110" x 110" watercolor quilt of a live oak tree surrounded by azaleas...if I knew then what I know now I would never have made it! I can't remember the exact number of squares, but it was something like 3600...fortunately they were relatively large pieces (1.5" finished), and not like some of the postage stamp quilts you see, where they've used 1/2" squares!
