Hugs and Kisses
105'' x 90''
The Beast is finally done! I really should call it that instead of Hugs and Kisses. It doesn't seem quite appropriate for something that is supposed to be a romantic gift.
I actually finished it a few weeks ago, but it's taken me a bit to clean up our room and take photos.

Admitting Defeat
Clear the Decks (committing to finishing this and only this quilt)
Been Quilting in progress
Picking Binding (you'll see I went with none of these)
Quilted with Wonderfil, a local thread company. It was a great variegated pink that worked nicely. And Aurifil white on the Xs. As usual, I used Quilter's Dream 100% cotton batting in Select weight.
And now we sleep under it. We can still keep the window open even though fall settled in to a night time chill. With all that quilting it is a heavy quilt that wraps around us.

I love it! How did you ever get the width of that in your machine and even move it? What kind of a machine do you have? I would be interested if you had any tips to share on quilting that big of a beast! =) I love it, your vision was great! Love the binding and backing. I love your blog, thank you.

Nothing better than snuggling under a quilt with the window open on a cool fall night :)
