    Lisa, not sure what machine you have but I have a simple singer and have machine quilted a full-size quilt, a 70x70 quilt and at least 4 large size baby quilts. So who knows maybe yours can too:)

    I think you just outta put some sashing between those blocks then layer and baste it and tie the quilt...
    That's what I would do!!!
    With tying, you can always come back and quilt later when you get the long arm you are wanting...

    Lisa, your blocks are beautiful, so festive and Christmasy. It will be a gorgeous quilt. When I looked at your "wonky" block, I couldn't help but picture one of your descendants, many years from now, trying to figure out what pattern you used to make that block. :mrgreen:

    Oh! You did a wonderful job on them! That was a great save on the last block...I probably wouldn't have thought of that! :lol:

    Ladybug, my machine is a little Brother XL2600. About $80 from Wal-mart. It doesn't have much throat space. I just can't see how I could cram enough material in there to quilt anything very big.

    That's a great quilt. I really like you 'wonky block.' It makes a great corner stone in the bottom corner of your quilt. Now will you be giving us directions on how to make Wonky Blocks? :D :D :D
