I am happy to report that the Quilt Suspension System I wrote about in my last post worked great for this large quilt! It's amazing how much easier it is to maneuver a large quilt when the bulk of it is held out of the way with the clamps. This quilt is 84" square, and I quilted it with an all-over freehand holly leaf design. The quilting is very dense (used 15 bobbins) and it gives the quilt an amazing texture. My DIL started this quilt about 10 years ago, and finally asked me to finish it for her, just to get it done. It was a perfect opportunity to practice doing a relatively large quilt, so now I feel ready to start my next challenge - 104" square! That's only an extra 20", right? Piece 'o cake!!! (I hope!!!)
