A couple of years back I finally made the quilt for our California King bed with 20" drops on all sides. I planned on it being quilted by check & it came out wonderful. I promised myself that was my biggest quilt @ 120 x 120. It was Atkinson's scrappy stars in blue, gold & white.
Last spring, a friend of a friend wanted a t-shirt quilt. I received 54 kids t-shirts that looked brand new. Either these kids got 2 shirts or thay sat on the bench for years! He wanted the front & back to be together. It took about 6 months but I finally finished that one too. It was 120 x 130. It also was professionally quilted. He loved it!
I'm thru making big quilts!

Big in the literal sense? Insanely expensive? Very complicated? Or perhaps a combination of all three? Interpret the question however you like.

This would be the biggest quilt in size and I used around $300 in materials. It still has to be quilted but at least I am done buying and doing the piecing for it!! Did I mention this was done all on a treadle and will be quilted on a treadle also?!!?!?
The quilt measures 110"x 118" and will have scalloped edges on it.

My very sweet niece(7years old) once remarked longingly that one day she would have 100 cats. So I made her a 101 cats quilt using 102 different cat print fabrics (don't forget the backing). I still have more cat print fabric than you can shake a stick at! Very expensive collection!
