I made this for my daughter for a wedding quilt. She is getting married in April. I sewed it at a quilt retreat this weekend. I drew it up on eq6 and figured the math for the size using the charts with the pattern. It was supposed to be queen size however, it turned out to be over 120 inches wide. There are 7 stripes. I am going to have to remove at least one stripe. I am pleased with how it came out though.

beauuuuuuuuuutiful!!!!

Ohhhhhh black white and blue!!! I love it!!!

WOW! Such a beautiful quilt! I know your daughter is going to love it.

so pretty, make shams or a table runner with the the strip you remove

Since queen beds are 60" wide you did get carried away! Better too much! I love having pillowcases to match so I'd use the extra braid to trim the edges. Makes a great way to store the quilt too. Lucky girl! You're done so early! My DD got hers for their first anniversary gift.

Fabulous!!!!! That's a stunner. Great job

Wow! What a beautiful quilt!

You could use one of those body pillows to make a long sham out of the extra braid!

Gorgeous quilt!!

WOW! Beautiful

DITTO what she said doubled....

WOW, that is just as good if not better, than any I have seen in quilt shows. Love the colors. They will be so happy with it I am sure... Chris

Anything with B & W is beautiful but this is stunning!

Thanks for the comments ladies. I am going to use one of the stripes to make pillow shams.

WOW and WOW again. I love it! I think the pillow shams will work great. Please post pictures when it's done.

It is beautiful but before you remove the strip, double check the width of her bed. We have a pillowtop queen which is high off the floor and I have to use a king size comforter to have one that fits. I think mine is 110" wide.

I'm sure she will love it!

Just breathtaking!! I can't believe how quickly you work - and to produce something this beautiful....just WOW!

If i thought I'd get a quilt like that I'd divorce DH and get married again. It is fantastic.

That is absolutely fantastic! It's another on my "to-do" list.

That is absolutely beautiful!!! I love the colors! We have a queen bed and I also use a king size on it.

• • • I ♥ it!

That quilt is absolutely beautiful. I have to double what darn75 (Deb) said. Be sure to measure the width of the bed it will be used on. Our bed is high off the floor too & need a lot to get a spread/quilt to have enough width to hang off the sides.

I love the colors & am also so impressed that you figured out the math. How are you going to quilt it?

Gorgeous....just gorgeous!!!

I tried it out on my queen size bed and it hangs down way too far and I haven't even put a border on it.
As far as quilting it, I am not sure yet. I am thinking about putting it on my longarm sideways so the design follows the stripes. Maybe feathers would be good.

Theresa! Awesome and eye popping! I just love it!

I have never seen that pattern before. Gorgeous.

Beautiful quilt - does she know she's getting it or is it a surprise? You did a fantastic job and did you say you made it in a weekend? Whoa that's a lot of work..... def use the extra for coordinating accessories!
