Putting it all together.

           Even though I don't have quite enough blocks for a king sized quilt, I have begun to put the rows together. I have been working on thie Sister's Choice quilt for a while. I'm using
 Bonnie Hunters version   .http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/sisters-choice.html  Love her stuff!

Here are a few pictures of my progress so far.



4 rows down



5 more to go......




Then to add a couple of borders.....



and finally to see if this will even fit on my quilting frame.....
Not so sure about that, I may need to be creative with that.

This is the first King size quilt I will have made. My DH has been hounding me
for some time about making us a quilt for our bed.
The time has come.....
