It took a month of Sundays, sitting in front of the TV when the kids were in bed to sew the binding on my Lotta quilt...it was so worth it! I love this quilt. Front is 4 large pieces of Lotta Jansdotter linen I purchased in Tokyo, back is a pale blue pinstriped cotton and the binding is a mocha brown cotton from Lincraft. I did free motion quilting randomly around the outer edge of many (but not all) of the blue and brown bobbles on the Lotta fabric. This created a very cool circled quilting effect on the striped fabric on the back. This is one of the largest quilts I've made, just about Queen size, perfect for full body coverage while lying on the couch. Originally I planned to put this quilt in our guest house to match some pillows I made last year...however I am so in love I might have to keep it in the living room through the winter to properly wear it in! 
Pictures are not that great, but due to the size was very hard to figure out how to photograph this one, it has been quilted properly all those waves were just impossilbe to resovle on the floor. Suggestions, how should I be taking these types of photos? -kb

Such a pretty quilt!
I think if you have somewhere to hang it, that can make it easier to take a picture of the whole thing... I also like just folding quilts up & setting them on a nice chair for detail shots...
wow, that looks so great - and seriously comfy.
Gorgeous quilt. Love, the quilting. You could try pegging it to the clothesline to take a photo. Nice to meet you today.
