does anyone else get stressed out when constructing the top of your quilt after completing all your blocks? I just finished piecing all the squares of my Irish Chain in the twin size which is the biggest quilt I've worked on so far and I felt buried underneath it. How am I ever going to make a king size? I'm scared to quilt it now. I haven't even put on the borders yet lol.

Everyone had a first time they did their first "big" top. It's no different than a lap quilt --- just more of it. Roll up your sleeves, take a deep breath, and dig in. Good luck, and please post pics of your finished quilt.

thanks for that. My son is waiting for it and my daughter is next in line so i think that makes me stress a bit cuz they are so excited about them I want them to be perfect LOL. Here is a pic of the top...

Very pretty. I can see why they're excited to get it. You'll do just fine.

Beautiful top! I don't make all the blocks first; I piece blocks and put them together when I have enough for one row. That way it kind of grows on me and at the same time I enjoy looking at the part that's done.
So don't get stressed, it's so much fun to put on the borders and quilt the whole thing :D Looking forward to pictures of the finished quilt!

Realy pretty. Just do a bit at a time, then join it together if you can make that work. It is a way to not have all that to cope with from the beginning. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

By the way don't forget to read the notes on another thread today. Her complaint was some wrinkles on the back. She got really good suggestions. And, yes, your quilt is lovely. Anxious to see it when it is done. I concur that doing a small bit each day is better than trying to do it all in one day. Good luck.
