my first one! I've managed to finish the patchwork top and it only took about a year
it was sent to a talented lady who does custom quilting, since it turns out that a large quilt (180x140cm) doesn't want to be quilted on a regular domestic machine. I'm not the most patient person and after few hours of struggling to maneuvre the whole thing through my machine, I gave up, took out whatever wonky stitching I had done and sent it off to the nice lady
she'll also bind the whole quilt together, so excited! I'd probably mess it up anyways
I can only sew rectangles
the fabric is Nani Iro

Congrats!
I can relate... My second quilt is turning into a behemoth. I need to hire someone with a longarm machine to quilt mine as well...anything is better than wrangling it through my wee Janome.
can't wait to see it finished! it looks gorgeous here! i love that the subtle tonal shifts between fabrics make the quilt almost more textural than graphic.
Funny, I have just started getting into quilting and I'm following a few quilting blogs. I did a bit of a double take when your post came up as I was expecting something knitting or spinning related! This will be so gorgeous. Thanks for putting up details of the quilting services, they'll probably come in handy at some point!
I like the colours, looking forward to the finished quilt. stupid maybe, but why did you send it to the uk, there are longarm quilters in ireland?
no longarm quilters in ireland or at least they don't have webpages...
It is beautiful. The rectangles give it a comforting structure balanced with the whimsical yet peaceful use of colors and fabrics. Can't wait to see what it looks like all quilted up!
Just stunning!
Thankfully the need to quilt has never struck me. I have so many other "want to do"s that quilting would probably do me in. Hoolah.
sorry, very late reply about the longarm quilter, there is, e.g. here:

if you have projects in the future:)) (and no, I am not involved with the lady at all, I just saw her info in the "irish quilting magazine" a while ago....)
thanks you all!
wooly bits, thanks for the info!
Gods, I can't even sew a rectangle. I so much as look at a sewing machine and the bobbins explode...
Yours is very pretty and soothing to look at now, can't wait to see how gorgeous it is when it returns to you.
lovely and light! it shall be a beautiful quilt; think of it as a partnership of design.
