Hot off Lolita

In early February, I ordered a queen roll of QD 70/30 for down here. 

And, with that order, I ordered king packaged batt for a flimsy I made for Kelly. 

This one...which I may or may not have blogged about. 

After nearly a month of crazy mishaps, I finally got my batt and loaded this monster up. 

It JUST fit on my 11' table. 

Then I stressed over how to quilt it. 

It's so heavy, I wanted use as little thread as possible, yet still have a sturdy bed quilt. 

If I weren't such a pill, I could've used a loose panto. 

But I do not enjoy pantos one bit.  

Bleck!

Kelly is a serious tosser & turner.

She is also a little person, so I didn't want the bloody thing to suffocate her. 

I really wanted to graffiti quilt this, but it would've weighed more than she does. 

In the end, I just marked it up and did twisties.

Kinda like a panto, but I stood in front.

I like it!

Only 2 bobbins for the whole thing!

It still weighs a ton!

Frannie was good enough to pose on it for scale. 

The thing is big...110"x96".

And I scored a Tula Pink back for it. 

The Beatles song, Blackbird, has always been special to Kelly & me. 

Perfect, huh?

Do you think the binding fairy will come tonight?

Be kind.
