This quilt was quite an undertaking. I have a 10 foot frame, as that's as long as I can fit in my sewing room. This quilt was 110" x 132". I couldn't quite get to the edges. But, almost.
I used Mindy Casperson's Angelic Swag ruler in the large border. I used round rulers in the green border and the center of the star blocks. The rest was free hand. Loved the fabric. It was well pieced and fun to work on. But, it took several days to complete; 3 hours per row. I did the borders as I rolled. I'll give it to Irene, the piecer, Wed. eve. This one I'd love to keep. Hope she likes the quilting.
