Santa quilt update...

I'm wrestling it to the ground over here! Split seams and all! Section by section the SANTA SINK quilt is coming together!  As I add sections to the bigger piece, it starts to get unruly, but all is falling into place. I had some friends in the studio today, who walked in and wanted the quilt...  I guess they liked it!

The white space is about the size of chunks I'm working with at a time.  Working in pieces of "Made fabric" here and there to keep the seams all mismatched...



Here you can see the top section (above) that I still need to piece to FIT into all those raggedy pieces. The bottom section looks a bit smoother, with a few bumps to work around, but should go together quickly.


I'm so close!!!  Almost!!! Maybe by monday it will be complete!
Happy Friday!!!

    what size is this quilt going to be - it does get kind of hard putting all those rows together when the quilt grows larger and larger - my largest are usually around 108 x 108 and I know they are difficult at times!

    Amazing to watch it come together! You write about it as if it is easy, but I know that it is really very hard! Great job!

    How big is this going to be? Good grief it looks HUGE! What a fun quilt with so much personality and all the different people that participated in making the blocks - just wonderful!

    I love watching you work with these huge quilts!!! At 5'1" - I would be at a big disadvantage. I will happily continue to watch you :)!! This quilt is so happy.

    This just looks so incredibly difficult - the size, the matching up and then the quilting. Best of luck with the bumps and lumps. I do like the joyousness of this quilt.

    I'm with everyone else on the question....how big is this going to be???? So much fun, though, and so much freedom in settings.
