that is a beauty!

It's gonna be a show stopper!

I'll be looking for the after-quilting post, for sure :thumbup:

Gorgeous quilt! Just a thought here. Could you raise your table to a more comfortable height? Maybe with some thick books or something. It might help your knees. I have problems with my back and knees too so I sympathize with you.

Simply Beautiful!!!

How beautiful!! I like the name. It will look wonderful when you're done!

stunning

pretty fabric

worth the effort!

Love your fabrics!!

Your quilt is beautiful. When you do little work like that cutting and piecing can be a killer for your back. I am 5'10" and my back was hurting me at my cutting table so I found 6" bed risers and put them under my cutting table legs. Haven't hurt since.

I do understand. My DH built me a custom cutting table that is right height for me and on casters. One of the problems with this project is just the shear size. The finished size will be 120" x 104". I don't have a table large enough and didn't want to ask my LQS to tie up their tables long enough to assemble and then sew all of the pieces together. I have it half assembled in the LR floor and hope to finish putting it together this morning and start sewing tomorrow morning. Just hope I don't have any company. If I do, we will have to sit in the sunroom.

Very pretty.

I love your colors! Beautiful quilt.

Great fabrics and that is a terrific name for this quilt.

I made a king size B9P a few years ago and encountered the same problems. I laid it out on the bed starting at one corner of the quilt, took pictures, printed them on just regular paper, then used that as my guide for the other 3 corners. It saved me a lot of work.

Your colors are gorgeous & your quilt name will be fitting!

Love it! Love the batiks!

Great fabric and design.

Gorgeous - perfect name!

Dear BeckyL----I am tall, too and find that putting a concrete block under each table leg works wonders for my back when I'm working standing up! For me (I'm almost 50), the floor is sooooo much worse on shoulders, legs and back when I'm there any length of time at all. I get crampy and stiff really quickly down there.

Looks great so far!

Beautiful quiilt and fabrics...dawn to dusk is the PERFECT NAME>

Becky, just a thought about table heights. If you have a table with legs in your sewing room and want to raise the height, try the bed lifters. They look like oversized plastic cups and are used to raise the height of beds. Most discount stores have them. Some can raise a bed 6". Because the are strong enough to lift a bed and the sleepers, they can certainly hold a sewing room table. It might get you off the floor and help your back as well.

Oh this quilt has life to it!

looking good,
don't forget the alieve before you start on the floor

wow gorgeous :thumbup:

Yummy

WOW, just beautiful, love the colors
Have a Blessed day

Your quilt is real pretty -I'm on the short side but my cutting table always seamed to darn low and the back-aches slowed my progress so I put it up on those blocks to lift my bed That extra 4 inches done the trick And I kept my old kitchen base cabs and put new counter tops on them slid them together now I have an 8ftx8ft table and lots of storage And the best part I no longer have to crawl around the floor

Lucky you. I wish I had an 8 x 8 table to work on.

BeckyL - hope I'm not to late and you have already sewn this part of your quilt, sorry I see three blocks incorrectly placed, the two you have mentioned in your posts but there is another blue and grey block directly above the other incorrect blue and grey block, again sorry but thought it best to mention it in the hope that if you haven't seen it you can correct it before things go to far.

Beautiful batiks! Your title is perfect. It's a beauty!
