Big Block Quilt

This was kind of an experiment.... I wanted to do one big blown up quilt block as a lap quilt. It came out rather huge for a lap, nearly 60x60".

I've wanted to do this too! Have seen a book about Big Blocks, but it seemed pretty limiting. You've done a great job.

I really like big single block quilts! Yours is wonderful, and the quilting compliments the piecing.

Experiment successful! Great way to use "why?" fabric and make it pop!

You made good choices of fabrics, block and quilting. Good work.
I have made a large number of big block quilts, but I usually either stretch the block, or add something to the top and bottom, If I don't want a square quilt. I gather you would have preferred something that was not square.

I like that idea, and your choices of fabric really accentuate the layered look of the block. Good job all around.
