I finished the scrappy TATW top, I figure I used 192 different fabrics, they show up twice in the quilt, in 2 different blocks, so that means a total of 194 different fabrics in this quilt. The quilt measures 99x99, which should fit my bed nicely. Did it make a dent in my stash? Not as far as I can tell, maybe a ding. It has left me with 32 ends, of the sets of 6 fabrics, that I now will decide what to do with. Do not worry; I will decide, I am thinking 6 or 9 patch with setting blocks which will come later. Judy's October quilt will be my next project. I started the quilting before the USC game. (They won) and continued to work on it during commercials and half time. I finally completed quilting last night at 11:00 p.m. I used the woodlands panto by Lorien Quilting. I really like this pattern. I had it all set up already on the longarm, that is why I choose this pattern but I do think it turned out nicely.
The picture above is of the completed quilted top and the one below is a closer view. I will trim and sew on binding during the week. I will do this along with working on the October quilt. I want to get the binding on before Sat so I can stitch down while watching the USC/Arizona game.
Well I best get busy if I want to accomplish my goals for the day. House work, quilting and of course cooking dinner. I hope and pray all have a great day.
P.S. I don't know how I did it but when you click on the first picture it takes you to Judy's October quilt so enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Your quilt looks great. Lucky you to have a longarm machine. I am green with envy!
Fantastic - I love this quilt!
That is one gorgeous quilt, Dot. Don't you love all the patterns from Lorien? I get them from Willow Leaf Studios. Jodi's pantos are great too.
What a gorgeous TATW - the colors are so rich!
I'm green with envy, too, Dot!! LOL And your TATW is beautiful! Thanks for stopping by my blog. :) Interesting how we each think just a bit different, isn't it. LOL
I think I said it before but this is a really beautiful quilt. I like all the different colors you used on it, and the quilting just adds so much.
