It looks amazing. Clever you.
I love your workroom too. I'm jealous of your fabulous shelves and the clever table.

I love it .Most of my quilts are scrap ones. It gives you a chance to play with color rather than some one else defining what to use Very nice.

I am quilting in the ditch and was pushing it around every time. I got tired of doing that, and am presently sewing two sides of the square, then moving the quilt to sew the other two sides (use the opposite side of the needle). It seems to work. A lot more threads to trim, but easier on the shoulders.

Beautiful quilt! As much as I might be tempted.... Don't think I'll ever try machine quilting something that big on the featherweight - which is my machine!

Beautiful quilt. I was going to comment on your sewing room then found this post. Very nice work area.

He also made the storage shelves and put mechanic's wire on the inside so the cats aren't tempted to make nests on my fabric!
