My Sugar Club sampler was almost a finished top... it just needed a plain 3" border then ready for quilting. I even had the fabric put aside and all ready to go. When I picked up the quilt top... I realised what had been subconsciously holding me back... this quilt top literally weighed a ton already!
I finished the piecing.... but decided these 100 inches square of awesomeness was going to be long arm quilted!
And over the weekend I got my quilt back from my friendly almost neighbourhood quilter Leeanne from Quilt Me Kiwi - and I am beyond happy.
We decided on an all over floral pattern...
I love how it softens the piecing...
Leeanne also supplied a wide backing fabric and batting.
Luckily I still have some of the plain contrast fabric I used in the quilt top to use as binding...
But I think I'll use it as a peeper flange and use some leftover florals as the main binding.
I will need to add this to next months list!

Looking good Suzanne!! That floral design in lovely on your gorgeous blocks :-) And you're right, 100" square quilt is a pretty big undertaking!
Yay, yay, hooray! You have a finish! Doesn't it feel great! I love the colors and all the white space!
A lovely quilt, and a great size! I love how all the negative space is quilted, very effective!
This turned out so sweet! I love flanged bindings - that'll be nice with the florals on the edge. Boy, Leeann had the perfect text fabric for this in her backings, didn't she?
