Finished up the quilt top today. This will be a quilt for my son, who wanted a big quilt. I think this one should satisfy him as it measures 84" x 102".This is the stack of rows I had sewn together a couple days ago. Only took a day to turn them into a quilt top. And then another day to get the borders cut and added.
Whew...it feels like a monster quilt, so big. I will be sending this one to my good friend Donna to quilt on her long-arm. I have done other quilts this size on my machine, but right now, I cant get motivated to wrestle with this one.

The outer border is fabric I found a Joann Fabrics last week. Its perfect for these blocks as it has all the colors in it that I have in the quilt, and I was going for a "Fall Season" theme. Sometimes, things just come together.
Funny, I had not noticed that I had the same fabric in the block close together until I looked at this picture.
It's a lovely quilt and the border is just perfect for it. I don't blame you for sending it out to quilt. I have been quilting all my own quilts on my standard sewing machine and it is a chore at times. I don't like having to pay for someone else to do it though.
