A Wall Quilt Done and UP - It's a Big ONE
I've wanted to do this for a VERY long time. I have drawn it out, measured and re-drawn it. And, it's up and as I've said before I LOVE IT !
The Quilt measures 82 inches wide and 92 inches long!
Machine pieced and machine applique.
I wanted it to cover the windows behind our bed. It's so sunny and light, this makes it dark, the older I get sleep is needed.... I don't sleep I don't keep up with Husband.
Husband made the frame,
we covered it with batting.
Then staples the quilt on
