So this is a quilt I've been working on for a client since before John wrote his gospels... :shock: And tonight I told myself I'd finish. It's a california king quilt top (sans borders) that measures 130'' square.

It kicked my trash...but what do you think? My apartment isn't big enough to lay it out flat, so the last two rows are dragging the ground making it look funky, but I assure you, they're straight...(I think!)

Whaddya think?

Had to stand outside my front door to get the whole thing in the shot! And still can't get the whole thing but hopefully you get the general idea...

Is it already quilted?

Lacelady 01-14-2011 09:06 AM

It's a monumental quilt, and I would love to sleep in the bed it will go on - all that space would be delicious. (Not to mention a bedroom big enough to put it in) LOL.

Thanks for the feedback! Today is border day. She wanted a lace border sitting ontop a dark navy border, so the trick is to figure that out. I have some lace cloth material that I got, but the lace pattern is only heavy on the bottom so I've had to get creative on how to assemble it into something attractive. Then I have to attach the blue borders underneath it. I'll post more pictures when I have that figured out, but let's just say my eyes are going buggy! lol

she is quite a picky client so I really hope she likes it. Otherwise it might stay at my house and warm my bed!

caliquocat 01-14-2011 03:01 PM

That's quite a huge endeavor, really striking colors. You did a wonderful job, pat yourself on the back! :-)

So here it is all done. The borders are on. It looks kind of weird the lace part, but I don't care. As long as she doesn't complain!

Gramof6 01-15-2011 01:29 AM

I really love this quilt! it's gorgeous and you did such a nice job. I don't think I will ever attempt one that large. You are a Saint to do it. Great job!
