I hope I'll get some orders! Now that I've done this one, the next should be a snap! His mom invited me to his graduation party and introduced me to his teammates' Mothers. Several of them were interested, so hopefully it will turn into some income.

You are courageous to take on a huge quilt like this one. May I suggest the next one be done two sided, using Reversible Quilts - Two at a time, by Sharon Pederson Hopefully I've attached a t-shirt quilt I made - two sided. Hope that helps.

I hope you get lots of orders! I have heard these quilts are a little difficult to do?

I find them lots of fun, each one different. I try to tailor the fabric to the person's hobbies, interests, personality (wild and crazy got red, green, yellow and all shades inbetween batik). Usually I meander stitch - changing thread color as needed - that's the main time consumer.
