Finally finished this King Sized block with I Love Lucy fabrics for my sister. The fabrics selected were not my first pick but with local fabric stores having a mostly "mis-printed" Lucy fabrics . . . I had to beg my DH to pick some up from his business trip across the country and this is what he came back with. I'm a lucky woman, I know this for sure!

WOW!! :thumbup: I love it!! You have done a great job making it & I know your sister is going to be so thrilled, when you give it to her. I think your DH also did a good job picking out fabric for you to use!! Great Job!!
:D :D :D :D

I love it! You did a wonderful job.

OH WOW! Now that is a BIG and BEAUTIFUL Block!

That's so neat! I love Lucy!

OH wow. She's gonna love it. Love the big star. :roll: Get it? STAR? Oh my it's too early.

that is great

What a fun quilt !!!
Can't you just hear Lucy and Desi laughing if they saw it??
I love those old shows- makes me so warm and cozy inside.
You did a FAB job!!!

I mean the Ricardos LOLOL

Really nice! AND - I LOVE your avatar - what is the name of the pattern?? I MUST make one! Thanks

I like this! Lucy is my favorite comedian. So hilarious.

THAT IS A HUGE QUILT! If your sister Loves Lucy she will love her in wonder sized proportions! That is very cool to say the least and NO one will have one like that. An Original!

Very nice :thumbup:

I love it!! And that is one HUGE quilt!!!! :lol:

Oh, WOW! That is really cool!

The quilt is awesome and so is your DH for picking out the fabric. Your DS will love her new quilt!

did you use a quilt program to figure out how to cut your fabrics that big.pattern?

I love it! You did a great job!!

Oh I love it!

This is absolutely beautiful. Your sister is very lucky to have someone care this much for her. Nice job...

That is adorable :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: We used to do I LOVE LUCY marathons!!!!! I love your quilt! How sweet for your husband to pick up that fabric for you!!! ;)

Oh, we love this one!! It's great and what a DH you have to pick up some great fabrics! We all love Lucy and they would be tickled smiling down on it. Super job and pattern!! :D :D We love your avatar too! You'll have to tell us your secret pattern and welcome also to the QB!! You'll love all the stuff you see here! :-D

I used a book called Sew One and You're Done by Evelyn Sloppy but still had to do all the math to double the size of the quilt in her book (by taking off all the seam allowances, double the number and add back on the seam allowances). But now that I know how to do it (wasn't that bad) I plan on doing more of these Gigantic Block Quilts. They are really great for large prints that don't look good cut up small.

No secret. It's called Sunset by Julie Popa. You will notice that my version is quite different from hers. I have also recently made a jacket with the scraps from that quilt that is just lovely to wear and I get tons of compliments on it.

What a cool quilt. I want to start collecting these fabrics to make a graduation quilt for DH's cousin, Jenna. She is a Lucy freak!

WOW what a wonderful job, love it

Great job! :thumbup: I love that show!

What a great quilt. I love your Lucy fabrics. I bet your sis will too. Great job.

Incredible. The large star is perfect. You did a superb job.

Yes, I've heard of her. It's a beautiful quilt that you did and can imagine how fabulous the jacket turned out! I love the colors you used in your avatar quilt!!
