I just finished my largest project ever..I'd say it's a double-bed size.
You can see it on Page 3 of my Webshots site.

My son had asked me to make a quilt to donate for an auction to benefit
children with cancer. His MBA class at Penn State has a fund-raising
auction every April. Well, I started this pattern, and it seemed to grow
and grow! Luckily my husband and I were going to Virginia last week, and my
friend there has a long-arm machine, AND she was able to quilt it for me!
YEAH! I did do the borders myself! I'm very happy with the way it turned
out and hope that they will make a big profit for a good cause.

Oh, that's so pretty Alice. What a great way to use florals.
I hope it makes loads of money - I'm sure it will.

Alice, it's beautiful! What pattern is it? This should raise a lot of
money for a good cause AND give some generous person a beautiful
heirloom quilt.

Oh, my gosh!!! That's beautiful, Alice. I hope the auction makes lots of
money, too. And now I have an idea on what to do with all the tiny floral
prints mom had in her stash!! Thanks.

This is simply gorgeous...it reminds me of a stroll through
a Monet painting. :)

Yes, it would use up lots of florals...mine had 63 different ones. I got
the idea from a friend who had a fabric swap in their guild. They only had
to buy one or two florals each. I "acquired" all mine on my own...the good
news is, I have enough left to make another quilt for myself!!

I'm not sure. I'm just calling mine "Flower Garden"! Anyone else know what
the correct pattern name is?

Wow, Alice, I am happy dancing to "Tip toe through the
Tulips!" for your lovely quilt. It should raise lots of
money! I especially like how the value eases from dark
to light. Did Terry quilt it? Are you coming to MAQF?

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the dancing! Yes, Terry quilted it and I got the idea for doing
it from pictures she sent from your guild. No, can't make the MAQF,
although I'd love to! Have fun!

I love that! I love florals and have a lot of them and have been
making some scrap quilts with them. I am going to add this idea to my
collection of to-do-someday.
