    Here is a photo quilt we made for the matriarch of a family. It is king size with 40 blocks. We don't usually put so many on one quilt but she had 13 children and lots and lots of grandchildren and grands. We made a pillow scarf instead of shams with the greats and great-greats. Am including some closeups of the separate blocks.

    That is so neat--it would be really fun to just look at all the pics. Thanks for including some close up pics too.

    What size do you consider King size? Or is there an average size?
