Got the HUGE quilt top all finished!
It’s big. It’s reeeeally big. Right now it’s 106″ x 95″. My goal is for 104″ x 93″ when it’s all washed so I went just a bit bigger… and it’s BIG! But I love it. I really can’t wait to see this one all finished.
I’m a bit scared about tackling the quilting on my little sewing machine, but I’m just gonna go for it!! First I need to make the back though.
Here’s a couple of my favorite blocks in it:

Wow! I absolutely love the colors in this one. Beautiful!
That is so Awesome. I love the fabrics that you used in it. You need to post after you quilt it. I would love to see the end deal. good job.
oh alissa…i’m thrilled for you! this is such an accomplishment and it’s so beautiful. i can’t wait to see it all quilted on and your bed. wow!
WOW! It is really big! I’m too afraid to tackle that big of a project! Good for you.
I LOVE IT! I love the colors! Do you have a hard time trying to decide where to put your favorite blocks? I always sit there trying to decide forever where to put them so I will see them the most! Silly. I quilted a king on my machine a few months ago for my Mom, it was a beast to quilt. I quilted it on her huge kitchen table and that made ALL the difference having the extra space and leverage, and I put a cardboard table beside me to hold the bulk of the quilt up, it made a huge difference because that is the hardest part! Good luck I can’t wait to see this one quilted!
i love the colors in this one. is it going to be for your bed??? good luck stippling a king quilt. (do you like how i just assume that you are going to stipple it?) i haven’t even attempted that on a king yet, but it’s coming up on my list of things to do. all too soon.
It looks great! I can hardly wait to see it finished. I’m also looking forward to hearing about your challeneges in getting it quilted.
Oh man – it looks amazing. Good luck on the quilting. I just finished one for my son – it’s 70″ x 80″ and it was a beast to quilt!
oh alissa it’s gorgeous! I am truly afraid of big quilts so congrats on making that huge top.
Soooooooo pretty!!!!
OMG, love this quilt!!! You’re brave to tackle the quilting with your sewing machine!!
looks great!
Great top and you are right, it is big! But have no fear you will get through it. Looking forward to seeing it quilted.
that’s a work of art! i remember when i finished my king size quilt i swore i would never do one again!
It’s beautiful (and huge!). I love it. Good luck with the quilting.
Very pretty! I like the block with the deer in it too. They look they are from a paint by number picture.
This is beautiful Alissa, well done!
Woah, baby…that is huge! And beautiful!
Beautiful. I’ve seen that deer fabric and wondered what you could do with it–it’s great!
I’m interested to follow your progress quilting it!
Awesome. I can’t wait to see how quilting it goes and to hear some tips from you so I can try it myself!
Wow, so beautiful, and so large! I’m so impressed to hear that you’re going to do the quilting, and I look forward to seeing it finished! And then maybe I”ll bug you for some tips so I can get around to quilting my queen sized one! I hope this one will end up on your bed!
Love the quilt!
It’s beautiful! Good luck with your quilting!
I love the hits of blue! And what is that orange fabric in the outer square on the second block?
If you are doing mostly straight-line quilting, or even slightly wonky, it won’t be too hard to quilt. Even if you stipple just break it into sections, have it supported well, take breaks, and roll/reroll often.
Wow! Stunning! Are you going to quilt that one yourself or send it out?
Uh, OK, ignore the previous comment. I’m clearly not all here today!
Good luck with the quilting.
