a massive quilt!!!!




This quilt is a whopper! 104" x 92". Jacki made this quilt from a block swap she was involved in last year. Jacki has made some extra's to get enough to make this quilt that is going to be gifted to newly weds. Jacki wanted very simple quilting with straight lines. I quilted straight lines on the sashing & borders, then with the same Maderia poly neon ( brown ) I crossed hatched the plain & pinwheel blocks. Maybe if you click on the photos you will see the quilting better?
 As you can see I had problems getting this on my washing line for a photo!


A view of the row of pinwheels for the backing...............a fun quilt!

I picked up my next Sewing Essential Project from work the other day & put the final stitches in it today.


A handy scissor keep & cute scissor fob/pincushion. They go beautifully with my block holder.

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Wow, that is a big quilt. Do you do the straight line quilting with some sort of channel lock? Forgive me--I'm not a longarm quilter and I don't know the terms.
