Too large for my dsm!
 

I made this quilt from strips that we got on a shop hop three or four years ago. Each shop gave you a 2 1/2 inch wof strips from 2 different Gradient fabrics by Blank. I purchased a couple of yards of my favorites and cut strips from them. Then cut strips from a solid black I had. After sewing the strips, cutting to length, and resewing, I ended up with a 96 by 116 quilt. I knew it was too large for my dsm and have 3 quilts at my long armer right now, so I went to a lqs and rented their machine for a day! It was a hard 7 hours of sewing, but it is all done by me. (The long arming will never win any prizes!) Whee! What a quilt!

Wow, what a quilt!!! rented a machine, you did wonders. did you take classes before though on using one? i doubt very much if i could jump in and do such good work. great Quilt!!

Beautiful colors, love the colorful thread on the quilting

Third trip to the long arm machine. It is fun but I will never be as good on it as my professional long armer. I also love using my dsm for smaller quilts. I have a 120 by 120 in progress and it will go to her!

Gorgeous quilt and quilting!

The quilt is beautiful ~ I love all the bright colors and you did an excellent job of quilting it!

Your quilting is very good for it only being your third time

The thread you chose for quilting is perfect with those lucious colors in your blocks. Nice job.

My thoughts exactly! The colors just glow when combined with that black. And the quilting is fabulous! Congrats on a job well done!!!

great quilt and I love what the quilting does for the quilt
