I finally have my quilt back! Size: 108" x 118.5". King size, but STILL not long enough for my bed...but I am trying to think of a way to make bedskirt to work with this quilt now. I thought about using a king sheet and then sewing the same fabric as I have on my border (the floral print), but I am not sure how to go about doing that. I had it quilted for $129. Not bad considering that and the backing/batting were the only things I paid for! All the scraps in this blanket was from my stash. There was NO WAY I could have quilted this myself.

That is my handsome husband helping me with it. :)

gorgeous! I have that border fabic ;-)

Great job!!! Beautiful!!!!

Wow, the quilt is fantastic. You must be very proud!
I think a box pleated bedskirt trimmed with the border fabric would look fantastic. Here's a link to a freebie pattern: http://www.ehow.com/how_4928925_sew-...-bedskirt.html
Also have you ever seen those curly little pins for anchoring bedskirts? http://www.beddingtons.com/p-2267-bedskirt-pins.aspx
You could create your whole bedskirt as a long length of fabric and pin to your own specifications without putting a full piece on the boxspring.

Beautiful quilt !

It's really lovely. I like you're idea of making a skirt out of the border fabric.

This is just beautiful! I am not usually drawn to scrappy quilts but yours is just lovely! Wonderful work, thanks for sharing!

I'm a BIG fan of scrappy quilts and love this pattern! You did a wonderful job on it. Is it one of Bonnie Hunter's patterns?

Beautiful.
