Is there such thing as a quilt too big for you to quilt. I don't know what size my finished quilt top is going to be so I thought I'd better ask before it gets too big?

I didn't really have to read this quilt per se....I did alot of fill in work to make all the designs pop out.
I stippled throughout the center so that the designs would pop out..and I pebbled in the black fabric with vines so the vines would raise out. I quilted a wavy crosshatch in the four-patches and a simple outlined in the green. IN the border I simply just used the two types of leaves that were in the border fabric and mimiced them in a design to cover it...I think it looks great! It is a beautiful quilt and it is a mammoth ..I can't get a full picture on my King Size bed as it hangs over.Beautiful peicing..no issues...Great gal to work with!
I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA. No computer or pantograph quilting.
Thank you for looking!
