Red Scrappy King Sized Quilt...

Tonight I worked some more on this big quilt for my bed...  I need it to be 100 x 120 (I think) and it's currently 100 x 67.

I chopped up more fabric into strips/squares and will hopefully be able to add another foot to the quilt soon...  But there will be more to go...

I hadn't realized how HUGE a king-sized quilt is.  I've only made one before and it's been a couple of years.  Here's a picture of the other king sized quilt I've made... It's a sampler with 30's reproductions on it...



I use it as a bedspread most of the year.  I'm going to make my red quilt without batting.  It'll be our summer quilt...  Cannot wait!  The back will be similar, but probably blue.
