Made this in the Fall of 1985 using a 'quilt as you go' method. It was huge, nearly 8 feet square, but I wanted something big to put on the tall (15') wall in our family room. It weighed a ton too, so good thing we hung it on a heavy duty rod. Don't have it anymore as it didn't make the downsize move to the townhouse in 2001. Hope someone else is enjoying it now. Machine pieced and quilted as you go.. You sew each strip onto a piece of batting and backing fabric and when you're finished the block it's already quilted. Then you join all the blocks together on the back. Haven't made one using that method since.
