Hollywood and Vine Quilt

It's been a long time since I've made a quilt so big 90" x 102". Working with all that fabric and sewing the borders on was a challenge. Most of the quilts I make are lap size or smaller. You might have noticed on my side bar I've joined the OPAM challenge. The rules state the project has to be quilted and bound to be on the list of FINISHES. So this one will be on my completed flimsy list. I better get moving if I'm going to have something to put on my FINISHED list for Jan. How about you? Did you join the OPAM challenge? Have you got a FINISH on your Jan list?


Happy Quilting, until next time.

Oh, Wendy, it's beautiful - a real stunner. I didn't join the OPAM but am a member of the Charming Girls Club so I have a long list of projects to complete in January. LOL!
