So, for the short version, I want to show the massive quilt I made for my son. This was at his request and we worked together for the design. I know the picture is pretty rumbly
- more than I thought, perhaps I should have photographed before I washed it? On the bed you can see just how large it is
- queen sized bed. It was hard to photograph flat because it's so large I can't lay it out on a floor. But he loves it and it turned out just like I wanted it to. Guess what his favorite college football team is?

Tennessee fans will be so envious of that quilt, BeeBee. It's so cute, designed to look like a football field. You must have worn yourself out quilting it. What are the dimensions? What did you use for the backing? And what machine did you quilt it on? Yes, it actually was quite the quilting project - binding was a bear, too. The dimension are really wide by really long , honestly I'm not sure - I will measure and find out. It drapes WELL over the sides of the queen bed. It's backed by another UT fabric - Orange with white T's (I can't BELIEVE I didn't photo that side, I had to match the T's - like a plaid) on the piecing). On my blog the same 2 photos are clickable and you can see detail a little better. I really do need to iron it out once for better photos. I quilted it on my Viking Topaz 30, using the walking foot attachment for the Stitch in Ditch and binding. And the free-motion spring foot for the green parts.
Turned out great! I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteThat is huge! Impressive. I went to University of Texas and I always get confused when I see the "other" orange T. Heh.
