This is a not-very-good photo of the whole quilt. Measures 51" x 64" and likely contains 3000 or so different fabrics. You will laugh when I tell you this.......I first made the little quilt that has 63 squares and I quilted it with no batting, as the antique quilts often were. Thinking that would be good for the larger quilt, I pin-basted it together (320 pins) and began quilting (no hoop, tho I usually use one). Did not like the feel of the quilt (felt empty, not cuddly), so I took out the 320 pins, layered with Quilter's Dream Request batting, and re-pinned the 320 pins!! Then I was happier with it!!

Just fabulous! Is the quilting only in the center square? I'm wondering because I made a crib sized top and had planned on quilting around all the logs (they are 1.5" fin.). Trying to learn from your experience!
