Look what my BIL made for me.
#1
After my sisters helped me sandwich and baste my fist quilt by crawling on the floor, my BIL asked if there weren't frames that could do this. After he and I investigated various plans for quilting frames on the internet, I picked one. My DH paid for the materials and my BIL did all the work.
It took a while to get it all set up and working in my sewing room (aka guest bedroom), but finally I finished testing/practicing and loaded a quilt back, batting and top. Then quilted. I think it turned out pretty well.
The quilt is small Summer in the Park found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5WgTyqB8Pc.
The frame can be found at http://buildaquiltingframe.weebly.com/index.html.

Wow, I followed the link for making the frame.
What a great idea - and there is certainly a market for it.
Even if you buy all the options that he offers, it's still fraction of the cost of any other frame.
I loved looking at the pictures of customers' frames - especially the lady that painted hers pink and teal!
How nice of your BIL to help with the construction.
Your quilt looks wonderful.
Enjoy your new toy!
