Today I collected my JP interpretation from Kaye Brown in Camden who wrangled the beast and machine basted it into submission.
I chose a wide back of cream cotton sateen and quilters dream batting.
Tonight the hand quilting commences... 96" x 96" to quilt and bind by the first week of June. Woo Hoo don't you just LOVE an insane deadline?
Have a wonderful quilty weekend. My left index finger hurts already!

Good luck girlfriend, I guess it will be head down bum up till you meet that insane deadline.
We-e-ell not sure how my butt can help with plying the needle, but hey! I'll consider any help!
Good luck, I am cheering you on but that is one crazy schedule! I would be lucky to have it done a year from June. :)

This is going to be SO beautiful. I think you will be happy you hand quilted it. Julierose
My BTCT is 100x 100 and I'm estimating summer 2014 that it will be hand quilted, I can't imagine working AND hitting this deadline, You go girl!
Pace yourself and take care of your fingers--that is quite a lot of quilting to do!!! It is amazing how much you can get done if you target a goal and keep up with it. Good Luck
I could have it quilted by the first week of June 2020! lol
Such a beautiful quilt will look wonderful with the hand quilting! Will be cheering you on too :)

I think you are going to be VERY busy over the next couple of months. That's a big quilt but the hand quilting will certainly do it justice, good luck!
Found you by way of Thimblestitch - what a mind boggling goal to have your hand quilting done by June!! I am also quilting the Beyond the Cherry Tree quilt and am overwhelmed with a possible September deadline(?).
Enjoyed looking around your very pretty blog and discovered you are doing the Drayton Hall quilt by Di Ford. It is on my way too long list of things wanting to accomplish. And awaiting her new book later this spring. We are surrounded by constant inspiration aren't we!
You go, that's going to be one gorgeous quilt.
Here comes a big cheer from the sideline!! Be sure to post pictures when you catch your breath again. It is such a beauty! Take care (also of your index finger - Elisabeth Arden's 8 Hour cream works wonders for sore skin - just a tip )
Oh yes, definitely cheering you on!! Such a beautiful quilt!
