I was just looking at that video yesterday, contemplating making one for me. Love the way yours turned out! I want one that is 120" x 120" - so I will be sending mine out to an LA, I think. Need to start researching costs, etc...

This is going to be beautiful. As others suggested, I would quilt it in sections if using a DSM. I learned from Marti Michell's book, Machine Quilting in Sections. I recommend that book all the time - excellent for picking the right technique for (almost) any quilt.

I just made the smaller version for my aunt - I am lucky that I have a long arm - I think with a lot of manuevering and a little luck you can do it. I think having a table or some support to keep the quilt stable will help. Good luck and you will have one beautiful quilt.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing it in thirds, but I really have to think about it. I wanted to quilt it in diamonds. I'll sleep on it for a couple of days. lol I don't know of any long arm quilters or how much it would cost so I will most likely do it myself. Thanks for all the suggestion. Syl

Your quilt is very pretty. Love how your churn dash blocks in the corner are all different. I also made this quilt and did not realize how BIG it was going to be. Went through my stash and picked out all fall themed fabrics and made each block different. Each block goes together so fast, it makes such a nice quilt. Can't wait to see yours quilted.

Two words for you: LONG. ARM.
If it was me, and I have a few not quite this big, it'll sit in the closet all ready to be quilted. I just need to save up the money and send them out rather than thinking I'll EVER get around to quilting them.
