Default Since my retirement 2
This last one is for a king size bed. It measures 100"X 107" I thought I couldn't quilt it on my long arm because it is only set up for queen size up to 95". Then I saw a post on here where someone else had the same challenge and they quilted it without the outside borders and added them afterward, so that's what I did as well. The pattern is from Eleanor Burns, "Still Stripping after 25 Years" I modified it a little in that I fussy cut the flower pieces then added the top parts for the hearts like the pattern says.
