I did it! I finished my first bed sized quilt!

I used my embroidery machine to make the blocks then did the joining, sashing, etc. I sent it out to be quilted as I just don't have that skill set yet.
Boy does it feel good to have it finished! I started it in December for my son. I have three more sons so am hoping to make them all quilts this year. I think if I keep it simple I will be able to do it. I'm feeling more confident. This is the first (successful) time I've done binding. I still need to go over it with a zig zag... I watched several video's on how to do binding on a machine rather than sewing the final step by hand and tried that. It worked OK but doesn't look as good as hand binding and the edge isn't secured so I don't think I'll do it this way again. Boy is it hard to sew on something this big.... I can't even imagine how hard a king size quilt is going to be to maneuver.

Nice choices for a son's quilt! It's lovely. To me, it looks "celestial". Thumbs up!

Great job. The block remind me of a Spirograph. I loved that toy back in the day

Congrats on your finish! I love the design and it looks great with the black background fabric. What threads did you use?

Your quilt is sure to bring an extra hug...or two... from your son.
