OK, I finally got a picture from Convention, today, with me in it, so you can really see the size of it.
I can't figure out how to get the picture from an e mail to here, so you can go to the website and see them for yourself. Just scroll down to the bottom and click on 2010 Quilt Challenge.

It's really hard to say how much fabric, since the majority of the prints came from my stash. I did use about 7 1/2 yards of the dark gray print for the background. About 7 yards for the backing which is multiple colors: yellow, orange, red, turquoise, green, purple and blue. The hanger sleeves are black fabric I already had. The batting was cut from a queen size piece and I had some of that left over. Each circle block has 220 pieces in it. The small blue and purple star circles were fused onto one section of the gray print background fabric. But they too had 216 pieces, each a miniature of the other star circles. Lots of tweezer work with those.
