Jamestown Landing Bound!

I finished my big summer project yesterday:  Jamestown Landing is bound!  I used a new longarmer for this one, and she was amazingly quick. (http://www.threadsthatbindusquilting.com/ )The quilting was done in a week.  The quality was as good as the longarmer I usually use, and the cost was slightly lower.





I am not sure what I'm going to do with this quilt yet. I really like it, but I don't  need another quilt this size, and I don't have a lot of storage space.  I want to eventually make a bed sized quilt for each of my siblings, but haven't decided if I should wait until I get 7 quilts made and give one to each then, or if I should just give them out as they are made.  I could do age order, alphabetical order, or as 30 year anniversary gifts.  

I still have another quilt out at a different longarmer.  They told me it would take 3 weeks, and it has been almost that now.

Your Jamestown Landing quilt is lovely. Bonnie's quilts always look so complex and have so-o-o-o many pieces, but the result is always stunning. Whoever you gift it to, whenever, is sure to love it.

Nice job on Jamestown Landing! I understand really liking your quilt but not having enough space. I have the same dilemma. I have a few flimsies that aren't finished quilts because they would take up more space if they were finished. But that hasn't stopped me yet!

This turned out really beautiful. You know your family best, but one observation is that if you somehow give them out one at a time, each of them will get admired by everyone present, that might be harder to do if you've got several to look at around the room. My intentions might be good to look at them all, but I might get caught up in conversation and miss one.

If you don't have a lot of storage space, perhaps you could give those sibling quilts away as you go. Plus it will give you peer pressure to get the rest done. ; ) sign me--- the lady who still owes one quilt to that last nephew in L.A. !
