It was 1230 am (ish).
Then before I went to bed I REALLY wanted to lay the all out and see what my finished top would look like:
Then I realized that I hadn't pressed the blocks yet... 48 blocks, that took awhile. It was almost 3am by then (I took a few breaks for various reasons).
I was so in love with my progress that I just couldn't stop then! So I kept going. I didn't feel like I was up that late, but before I knew it, it was past 5am and my quilt top was done (and pressed!)
Totally worth it!
I really want to quilt it myself, but it's pretty darn big for my little machine (There's a 6'5" 300+lb man holding that quilt top up for me!). I wanted to do pebbles inside all the solid squares, and I think I could do it since I wouldn't have to move the whole quilt much at a time. What do you think? Suggestions? Ideas? I don't want to send it off if I don't have to, but I have a Brother CS6000i, and the throat on it isn't that big. I had trouble stippling a 55x75 quilt, and this one is a good 5-6" bigger length and width-wise!
Help!

You can do it. I have faith. DO you have a supreme slider? Those things are miraculous.
I love the top and I know how it is when you cant stop working on your projects ;-) I´m always up late on the weekends. I think it would look awesome to quilt the solid squares with pebbles.
Wow! It looks fabulous. Love it!!
