Uh oh - I tried to use multi-quote but I think I hit the wrong button!
Thank you all for all of the great comments! I'm 8.5 months pregnant right now and this is the very last quilt I have to finish up before baby arrives so I'm trying to push my way through it so I can relax for the next few weeks. Your comments are motivating!
To the person who asked what the largest quilt I can quilt is - I have a 26" throated machine on a 14 foot frame...the largest quilt I have done to date was 120" x 120"... I could probably squeeze up to 140" length on my frame with and take up the entire leader length. LOL I don't know anyone who's made quilt that big yet though - and generally one side is smaller so worst case scenario I could load the small side to the leaders and the length could be rolled onto the bars...just might limit the quilting because I often turn quilts to do the borders neatly and accurately. (A 140" square quilt would drag on the floor over a king sized bed by the way!)
As far as showing the quilt - I don't think the owner at the moment has any plans to show it, though I did work on another small wall hanging for her that when I quilted it she told me she had intended to show. I think she would do well if she decided to though!
Thank you for such nice compliments!
