The Ongoing Kingsize Quilt

Next time I start I large quilt I should work out beforehand realistically the amount of work it will take (it's unlikely I will though as it would probably put me off making another one!)


The creation of my sister's quilt is ongoing, the strips of batiks and black were transformed into...


A rather large bag of 2.5 x 4.5 inch rectangles.  Which are now slowly being combined to form...
The stacks are quite substantial but I'm not even halfway towards the 288 squares I need.  I'm using a lucky dip method (mostly) to ensure the batiks go together randomly.  I'm liking the way this quilt is going and am looking forward to putting some more black on it, I just hope there's not too much pink in the batiks for my sister's liking!

Do we ever take the time to work out how long a project will realistically take? Not me! The black should tone down the pinks if too much for your sister. Look forward to seeing your progress... no pressure... LOL!!!

The fabric looks really nice!
