I never had the nerve to do a T shirt quilt.Doing DDs set cured me of making one block quilts! Of course, now I've seen one on here I'd love to make.:lol:

In 2006 I joined the Thimbleberry Club at my quilt shop and made the BOM "Vintage" queen sized quilt. Each block was embroidered, then machine pieced and I am still hand quilting it. The quilt plan that year was to make 2 blocks each month, different set up for the back to make it reversible. I made the second set into a lap quilt for my daughter. Had that one quilted at the shop so she would have it in this lifetime. They also basted the big quilt for me on the longarm. In the meantime, we bought a new bed, and I have to add another border, probably QAYG to finish it off, hopefully next year.

I made an oversized King black/white/red for my son...using thangles for the center of the blocks...mitered the corners to make it big enough since when I started it he only needed a queen and than bought a new bed before I was finished and bought a king...heheheh..it made it look very contempoary though...blessings

My biggest challenge was a Bargello, king size for my grandson's graduation. It was beautiful, and I was very proud, but am not certain I would ever consider that size again. Everyone says "Why so big?". My answer is only two sizes on the pattern, lap size and king size.
