Biggest quilting project you've ever done
#111
Probably the sampler quilt I made for our double bed. It's our Winter Quilt with log cabins across the top, flying geese on the drop on each side and backed with lavendar flannel. I really love it! However, we now have a queen bed so it's too small. waaa!

2 really come to mind. A queen size 72 block sampler quilt that I machine pieced, but hand quilted for a raffle at my son's school. Some blocks took me 3-4 hours each. Then, a very large wall hanging for my friends 40th birthday. A variety of blocks, 4 of houses she lived in, her 3 boys hand outlines, some that I had friends write something on, birthday cake, tea cup, tea pot and in the center of it all, a replica of her and her husband dressed as bride and groom.Some machine pieced, some hand sewn and all hand quilted.It was worth all of the work, when she cried her eyes out when she got it.

Mine was an extra King size 60th Anniversary quilt for my folks. It was 6" yellow & blue star blocks with a photo, of their 60 years together, in every block. Even had all their grand kids & great grand kids all around the border. It ended up with something like 97 photos on it. Not only the size, but also the cost. It also had blocks that people, that came to their open house, got to sign the quilt.

I think I spent about $350 to make a Cal King quilt for my daughter and her husband, I let them pick the fabric out at our local shop, well the one closest to home, only 45 minutes away, it was about $12.00 a yard, by the time I added shams, and a storage bag for it, I am very glad to have made it for them
