So far this is the longest and hardest I've ever worked on a quilt top (quilting is a different animal entirely!) My Aunt Gracie is going to be so excited to see the top finished! Just need to figure out how it'll get quilted.... I think I need to find someone that will rent time on a long-arm machine around here. I just don't think that this king sized beast will fit in my little Elna 5200, it's throat measures 7" from the needle.
Thanks for looking and sharing this journey with me.

P.S. Pay no mind to the porch that is currently under construction! Perfect timing though :) it gets a roof tomorrow but I get to use the boards to hand up my quilt today.

Halloween decoration in the way lol
