    I made a king size (approximately 112" square) for my youngest daughter's bed. It is an enormous Star of Bethlehem in bright batiks on black; the border is a double row of geese. Expensive to make; really expensive to have LA quilted but a lovely quilt. I told my daughter not to expect any more quilts until she gets a smaller bed!

    Big in the literal sense? Insanely expensive? Very complicated? Or perhaps a combination of all three? Interpret the question however you like.
    Mine was a K size applique with 48 different tulip designs. I researched historical societies, books and old folios from the 1930s depression era when the CCC projects sent women artists to Applachia to document quilt designs. It was a real learning experience.

    It took me three years to applique and hand quilt. I can look at individual blocks now 30 years later and remember where I was and what I was doing. I gave it to my son and DIL

    I made a queen sized quilt for my daughter when she graduated high school. It has 196 squares. I printed a lot of pictures from her high school years onto most of the squares. The rest of the squares I left blank for her friends to sign and decorate. I hand quilted it. It was very expensive but well worth. She loves it and took it to college with her. I'll have to take a picture of it and post it on here.
