I am glad I am not alone in quilting large quilts. Funny, my queen sized quilt has now grown into a king sized. I put it on two twin beds pushed together and like it well enough that I am making it large enough to look good this way. Here is what it looked like before I started quilting. I SID, so it really won't look any different when I am finished.

Oh My Gosh, That is beautiful and I cannot believe my eyes! I made that exact same pattern in burnt oranges and teals for southwest colors for our friends back in 2003! And I was only a few years into quilting than. I love your colors.....

I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying the quilting process on your DSM! I also have a large quilt to be quilted on my DSM (90 x 90), and love to hear the success stories. I am at the sandwich stage; may I ask, what method did you use to baste your quilt: pins, thread baste, spray baste, glue baste?

Dina

How cool is that!! The quilt must have been beautiful in burnt orange and teals.

I use pins. I don't have the patience for thread basting, and I just don't like the idea of glue on my quilts. I used lots of pins....all I had plus 90 of my sister's.

Dina, That looks like a Pfaff machine, what model is it and how wide is the harp area?

Dina

Yes, it is an Expression 2.0...let me measure the harp. I think it is 11 inches. Nope, it is 10 inches. I bought it 5 years ago and have been very happy with it. (I have only been quilting 5 years.)

That's what I thought, I've been looking for one but there doesn't seem to be any available in this area, I've even been watching EBay and there are two on there right now. Not sure if I have enough nerve to bid on one of them or not. Our LQS sells Pfaff and Baby Lock and I love their shop so hate to not buy from them.
