How can it be possible that we've only worked on this quilt as a group for FOUR days!?
We've worked together on quilts for four months and not made this much progress!
That is a completed quilt top! And there's a completed back!
In fact, three of the gals were beginning to pin together this quilt sandwich when I had to leave.
Group, we've done amazing work -- and fast!
It looks like one long, skinny quilt -- but by the math it's about 55 inches wide (a full size quilt is suggested to be 54 inches wide). It should also be around 87-90 inches long -- which is a little longer than it should be (a full should be around 75 - 90 depending on your preference).
For quilting, this one is going home with one of the other quilters to await some attention. I suspect waiting for this one to get to the top of her 'to quilt' pile might be the most time consuming part of the entire project.
Once it is quilted, I think it is headed back to me for binding and washing. And I'd like to get some photos of it in a better setting... Anyone have a full-sized bed I can borrow? Then again, depending on the time of year, this one might look nice draped out a barn window...
