Queen size plus, grandmothers flower garden, all hand pieced and hand quilted. That was in the 80'. Lap size are as big as I get now. Except for the day bed cover (sampler) I am working on, and going to use quilt as you go method to quilt it.

I would love to see some pictures of these quilts!!! They sound wonderful and with all the work put into them it would make a great "show."

My second quilt I made was a wedding present for my daughter. It was a California King size: 122x98. Even tho it was the second started, it was the seventh finished. I got it to my daughter exactly on her first anniversary!

In the second picture below, you can see the block I made a mistake on. I put the flying geese on backwards. It turned out looking like a house instead of a star, so I hand embroidered windows, a door and flowers. I embroidered "House of Bleak" on it. My daughter married a man with the last name "Bleak" (pronounced Blake) and they always referred to his daughter as a princess in the House of Bleak. Thought I did pretty well covering up my goof!

A custom-made queen-size leopard theme quilt with matching shams. The biggest and most time-consuming project I've tackled.

The biggest quilt I've made was a 74x89. I found that is about my limit as I quilt them myself on my regular machine. The most expensive quilt was a Christmas BOM. It was insanely expensive in the long run, but I absolutely fell in love with it and just couldn't help myself!

I did a 126" x 132" Circle of Illusion quilt as a dare. Then turned around and appliqued hummingbirds and morning glories to it...and although it is a beautiful quilt, it has never been on a bed...it makes you dizzy just looking at it...LOL!

Am working on a king size now - all needleturn applique and will then be hand quilted - also very expensive material but its for my sisters 60th birthday in a years time!!!!
I have also done two other king size - one of those was hand applique/quilted which was all different blocks and the other was all done on the machine I like to have a big project on the go and then do a few smaller projects alongside

I'm presently working on my biggest. It's a queen size scrappy Jacob's Ladder. I'm in the process of handquilting it. I will be sooo happy when this one is done. I used fabrics from my stash, so no idea of the cost.
