I've put some pretty big quilts on the frame before. I think the biggest was around 108" square. This new one tops them all. At a whopping 115" square, it wins the prize.
I've on again-off again worked on this top since receiving it Thursday, and have barely dented the work needed in it. Yesterday was a good 6-hour stint and I only rolled it once. And it wasn't a complete roll since the appliqué is vertical.

The rest of the weekend was spent looking for a new friend for Hazel. With no luck. It seems pit bulls are the breed of choice lately, and we just aren't wanting to go there. I have NOTHING against pits. I love all dogs. But with the plethora of breeds to choose from, they aren't my particular favorite to look at, nor do I really know that much about the breed itself.
We will continue our search. But Hazel certainly enjoys car rides with mom and dad.

Since the weather is supposed to be mostly yucky through until Friday, I guess I'm going to continue chipping away at this beautifully pieced top for my customer. It's a pleasure to work on, and the extra time spent putting in the quilting detail in will enhance the time the customer herself put into it.
