    Wow, I'd have to actually measure some to know the biggest. I have a couple that are the largest contenders, not sure if they are over 100" square or not but, my patriotic one is 100"x100" (I think). That one was kind of time consuming. Not sure but the No Diamonds In The Sky one might be bigger than that.

    it's just standard practice for me to squeeze my quilts onto 200 count 109' wide muslin. and there for a while i couldn't fine the the 200 count muslin that was a little wider than that, so i would have to piece the back. i usually put a lot of work into the tops, and i really like the feel of that muslin on the backs.

    The picture you see is 96X96. It was supposed to be a twin for my granddaughter to take to college but I fell in love with this pattern and it grew. She did not take it to college. I used all batik jewal tones for front and back and the cost soared to almost $600.00. I purchased the fabrics at a little quilt shop in Bentonville, Ar. And I used Superior King Tut and Precencia threads. Not cheap. This is only the third quilt I've done and I surprised even myself. My daughter repainted and designed the bedroom around this quilt. It is the bedcovering of a queen bed, hangs to the floor all around and covers the pillows like a bedspread. If I do say so, this quilt is awesome.

    Mine has been a king sized quilt with all 1/2 square triangles - it is an exploding star. There is a total of over 2,000 pieces and if they are not turned exactly in the right direction, the pattern goes away. Its been a BEAR, but will be beautiful when done. ( SOMEDAY in the far, far, future)

    Started sewing the first of December, turned the machine off 1st of March had quilted two Queens one twin and pieced four king-sized quilts. Of course there was the 20 year quilt that I embroidered and put in a frame 20 years later to quilt. Was going to give the last one to my oldest child (a son) but his dog chewed a hole in the corner of a quilt I hand quilted for two winters. Am going to take that 20 year old quilt with me TO a better place.!!

    Beautiful quilt. I used this same pattern for the corners of my son's Mariner's Compass. Yes it is a challenging pattern in that it is all small pieces. I found that if I sewed them into units first and then did strips rather than blocks it was easier. Did you do it this way or did you do whole blocks? Just curious! I have lots of pieces left, that I could make a wall hanging for my husband if I chose to. Nahhh! :lol:

    I just finished my first King size quilt for my daughter. Big and lots of $$$$$$. It is at the quilter now. I can't wait to give it to my daughter and her husband for Christmas.

    I made this king size in batiks for my best friend's wedding last year. At 110" square, it is by far my biggest to date:
