I am done! This quilt will be the table cloth for my event this Sunday - at 77" square, it will just cover the top and the stars will hang at the edge. Hopefully any spills will land in the white area, for easy bleaching later! I'll be using it as a lap quilt after Sunday.
As I was lamenting how long it took to make one pass of stipple across the edge - after all those fun, fast minis - I came up with a plan. I quilted the double hourglass center on the diagonal, like a stained glass window. Then concentric squares in the boarders. The remaining stippling was super easy, and I lucked out with no bunchy wrinkles on either the front or back!
Speaking of the back, I used the Dvala Ikea sheet and love how it quilted up. Don't know what the shrinkage will be, I haven't washed it yet. So close to the day, I think I'd totally lose it if the washer ate my quilt!

Love the quilting on this one! Real beautiful!
You are going to make me speechless! The tablecloth is amazing, and the quilting is fabulous. I am glad you get to keep something.
I Love it! I can see where going from all your sweet minis to quilting something this large might be daunting, but it looks fabulous! I need to track down some of those Ikea sheets....
Arrgggggh get a piece of clear plastic to put over it!!!
Looks great! I love your quilting. I would be mortified if my kids ate on it. Maybe cover it with clear tablecloth plastic on the roll at walmart.
Another beauty! I love the way the quilting turned out. I think I would have a cow if someone spilled on it! :) I'm glad to see you will end up with one to snuggle under.

I really can't wait to see pictures of the table as a whole!! Everything is completely lovely, and I'm sure your table will be just gorgeous!

So gorgeous!! I'd be so busy watching everyone at the table to prevent spills lol And don't even go there about the washer eating your quilt! Happy thoughts! Hehe :) I do recommend Shout Color Catcher though... It's saved a few of my quilts!
