Just finished up oversize king 108 x 120, and thought all might like to see. Quilted on my HQ Avante.

That is a gorgeous quilt. Is it all paper pieced? You have a lot of time wrapped up in that too. Is is Queen or King?

It is not paper pieced, used templates to cut pieces out of strips, took about 8 months of off and on sewing. Colored it out on paper before for color placement before cutting & sewing. It is oversized king 108 x 120". Created borders as I progressed to achieve the size I needed. Still it is about 3" too short to cross over the bed. Should have been 123"
Thanks for all the compliments.

Love the cat, Oh and the quilt too! LOL LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors. Looks like a fun pattern. Gonna have to look it up.

Gorgeous quilt!

I just got a free DVD about HandiQuilter. Of all of their machines, the Avante is the one I drool over the most. (Plus, there is a dealer who has her shop close enough to where I would be willing to go there!)

Was there a big learning curve for you when you got yours?

rootyr 02-24-2010 03:01 PM

I drooled over the HQ16 for 10 years, decided to get one when the Avante came out, so upgraded to it. No learning curve really, My rep came and set it up, gave me over 4 hours of instruction and how to use, and off I went. Have done 5 quilts, all freehand, loading the quilts is easy, if I can do it anyone can. Very smooth, easy to maintain, I would recommend to anyone who would like a mid arm at a great price.

GORGEOUS!!!

Your quilt is beautiful, and I'm glad it passed inspection by the Quality Control Department (aka Kitty) I'm always glad when my work passes that stringent inspection!
