After my sisters helped me sandwich and baste my fist quilt by crawling on the floor, my BIL asked if there weren't frames that could do this. After he and I investigated various plans for quilting frames on the internet, I picked one. My DH paid for the materials and my BIL did all the work.

It took a while to get it all set up and working in my sewing room (aka guest bedroom), but finally I finished testing/practicing and loaded a quilt back, batting and top. Then quilted. I think it turned out pretty well.

The quilt is small Summer in the Park found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5WgTyqB8Pc.
The frame can be found at http://buildaquiltingframe.weebly.com/index.html.

Is that a special sewing machine or your regular sewing machine?

They did good work. And your quilt looks fabulous.

What size did your quilt end up being? Did you use one light color and one dark color jelly roll (two in all)? It's a beautiful quilt and I'll be making one very soon.

Wow, I followed the link for making the frame.

What a great idea - and there is certainly a market for it.
Even if you buy all the options that he offers, it's still fraction of the cost of any other frame.
I loved looking at the pictures of customers' frames - especially the lady that painted hers pink and teal!

How nice of your BIL to help with the construction.
Your quilt looks wonderful.
Enjoy your new toy!
