    Just off my quilt frame this week, "Surf Song" bargello.  From the book Twist and Turn Bargello Quilts by Eileen Wright.  Needed a king size quilt for my bed and instead of adding borders to make a king sized "Surf Song" I kept building the bargello to the edges.  I quilted it with IQ and the panto Ripples by Lorien Quilting.  I will make coordinating batik pillowcases and of course still need to bind the beast!!

    I really like this forum.  I have learned so much from all of you and continue to learn!  I have been frustrated with yahoo forums due to them getting hacked so much, so am a little leery of those.  I got started on FB before an all school reunion and it is great to get in touch with old friends, but it can be overwhelming to keep up with.  I really do enjoy the specific FB forums I have joined.  Am kind of re-obsessed with Singer Featherweights, (I'm currently experiencing a second Featherweight frenzy), and I check in with an IQ FB forum quite often.  It's almost too much, all of the information out there now.  Mary Beth, I'll be checking out  your page!

    Thanks so much.  The quilt is 114 x 100.  I wanted it big enough to drape on the sides and also to allow a little for shrinkage when it gets washed.   I did preshrink my Hobbs cotton batting but did not preshrink the batiks so we'll see how that goes someday... 
    And Cagey, something that goes with my green walls was just what I was going for.  The wall color is called pale opal and I love it, but it Is not the easiest color to find coordinates for, even with all the fabric out there in the world.  Isn't it amazing how many colors of a color there are??
    I love the movement on this quilt pattern, too.  I live by a huge lake and I was thinking of water with a little sand and grass when choosing my colors.  My husband's response when he saw it on the bed the first time was "it's crooked."  See what I deal with in my life everyday?  Gotta love'em.

    Thanks again everybody.  Just a note, the quilt was actually 114 1/4 x 100 before quilting and after quilting it is 112 x 98 1/2.  I figured it would shrink up a bit with the quilting.  The "Ripples" panto was a medium to large density pattern.  100% cotton batting (preshrunk). 
    Now that I have made it king sized the hard way, I know how I could have done it a lot easier, so Betsy if you need to make a king size and don't want to do it by adding borders, give me a holler.
