Here is the one on our bed. First big one I made, the center rail fence blocks came as strips, then we added to it from there. Still on our bed now, love it! Picture date says 97', which means, I have been quilting longer than I thought, cool!...

No pics, but my DH and I each have two on our beds. My DS has 2 or 3 (I refuse to to into his room, LOL).

Lovely work ladies. You can serve as an inspiration to the rest of us. Okay Us, get going. We are strong, smart and talented women who deserve to take care of ourselves with as much love as the people we give quilts to.

Every bed in my house (4) has one of my quilts on them. 3 of them have more than one.

HAHAHAHA!!! My DH was just telling me that I need to finish OUR bed quilt!! It has been in process for 18 months. Every time I start to work on it something comes up that needs a quilt....I think it's just us. Giving, caring for everyone but ourselves!! :-) I love quilters!! :-)

Nope, no quilt on my bed, although I'd like to have one there. I've never tackled anything bigger than a lap quilt, and so I must admit I'm a little afraid to attempt a queen sized quilt. It's not the piecing, but the quilting that frightens me. The biggest one I've made gave me terrible troubles trying to quilt on my machine and I can't tell you how many times I poked my fingers on needles.

With that said, I am hoping to make one for the bed eventually...If my DH will ever give up the comforter he has on it now. :P

Well, try quilting one in more manageable sections, then sew you sections together, & quilt a tad near the seams if you feel the need to. That's how I did the one in my pic & it worked out great, as you can see. Think baby quilt size sections, then sew them altogether! Much easier that way!...
