The biggest project I did had only 12 blocks, but they were blocks of each month. Each block had a house with the yards embellished with many different things. Like fences, mailboxes, clothes lines with clothes hanging on it, trees, bushes, chickens, pumpkins, snow, leaves, window boxes (w/flowers), curtains on the windows, etc. Everything had blanket stitching around it and much embroidery.Took about 2 years. Gave it to our oldest Granddaughter for a Christmas gift.

My biggest quilting project was not one quilt but 15 quilts. This was actually my first attempt at making a quilt (quilts)and took me 5 years to complete. Started out by wanting to make quilts for 4 grand children but as I taught myself how to piece and needle turn applique, the family continued to grow so I kept adding more quilts. That Christmas, not only did the original 4 grandkids get quilts but also my 4 children, husband, mother-in-law and 5 additional grandkids. All were 6 ft. by 8 ft. or larger, tied not machine quilted.
Had to make 2 more for the last of the grandkids which I gave them last Christmas. Pictures were posted here (Snoopy Stars and Double Pinwheel).
Have most if not all the blocks done for another for my first great grand which I hope to finish for next Christmas.

Working on a window quilt for our patio doors to keep the cold out this winter--about 90 x 120--all from decorator/upholstery samples. Most pieces are about 2-1/2 " by 5" or so.
It is HEAVY! Will not quilt it, or tie it--at least not now--just hang it with tabs, with the backing just sewn to it at the top with the tabs----it is just so hard to handle!

I made one that is a super king . We have a waterbed frame and super king mattress on it and has drawers underneath so it is high off the floor. I wanted it to go down the sides and down the end. The backing was 9.00 a yard on sale . I have a lighthouse panel in the middle. I made sail boats in all corners and took cording and made anchors on it . It was very costly but after my significant other and I finished it , it is to heavy for Florida. Trish

Several years ago, and definitely dumber .... I machine pieced a king size
Broken Star quilt (cutting out each individual "diamond" shape, rather than
the speedy strip piecing method). Then hand quilted within each diamond,
and did Feathered Wreath on all plain blocks, plus cable quilting in border.
All for $200 for a quilting "friend".

My largest, and most expensive was the 110 x 112 "Happy Hearts" quilt that I custom fit to my new 4 poster bed. My brother was kind enough to paint my bedroom pale blue for me, it was a really dark burgundy, when bought the house. New bedroom, new color, must have new quilt! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

My largest quilt was a king size with animal skin prints. I don't have a record of the cost, but most of the fabrics were bought at quilt shops.
