Gwyn, that is beautiful! You do such beautiful work. Thank you for doing this for a future teacher. :-) Alu can't help but feel loved with her special quilt from all her quilter friends. :-)
If you decide to pay to have it quilted, let me know and I will pitch in. I think it will be loved and appreciated no matter how it is finished.

The quilt top is complete except for the last 6" boarder. I need to go to the store and get the fabric for this. I don't want to piece the last round because it would look nicer if I didn't.

You are welcome. It really hasn't been that hard. You guys made all those little squares. I only had to make 12 to finish the design...Then I received 12 more in the mail. I'll work them into the back so have no worries.

The quilt is 90" x 105". For the back I will need 8 yards. For the last boarder I will need 3 yards. I just don't want to distract from the wonderful blocks everyone made by piecing the boarder. I will also purchase some fabric for the binding. I think it will only take 1.5 yards. Does this sound about right? I've never done a quilt this big.
