Re: Oh my

Mothers -gotta love 'em!
Yes, queen size is possible, even on your machine, which no doubt is looking
smaller the more you think about it. So don't think about it. Just believe
it will work!

Do get some truly relevant measurements of the actual bed, with bedding
(does she use a down comforter, for example, which adds a lot to the
overhang you will need? Is there a dust ruffle, or does it have to go all
the way to the floor?)

So what pattern do you have in mind?

I've been saving FQs for a lap quilt for my mom, who just moved into
an assisted living facility, although she still drives and is quite
independent. Anyway, I just got off the phone with her. She called to
ask me if I could "whip out" a "little something to cover" her bed.
Sure, Mom.... what size? "Oh, queen size. And can you make it big
enough so I can use it for a bed spread. And some pillow covers would
be great too."

Ack.

I've done some long twin size quilts for my sons, none of which has
been a work of art. But I've never attempted anything approaching
queen size, much less one with enough overhang and length to be a
bedspread.

Ack. Somebody tell me I can do this??

Okies, better start buying more of those pink and green FQs.
