That’s the number of pieces in the Flutterby quilt top. I really wish I had used a dedicated spool of thread so I knew how much is in this 92” behemoth of a quilt. Mental note for next time, I guess.
There’s also no easy way to take a photo of it either – this is the camera on a tripod, using the 10-second timer (with me running up to grab the right side of the quilt. Oh, and Steve and I are standing on chairs so it doesn’t touch the ground.
I’m also entering this in Sarah and Cara’s Naked Bed Challenge:
I thought about attaching 4” borders, but this is already plenty big for our pillowtop queen bed. Now to figure out how I want this quilted, what batting to use, and get it sent out. And then 370” of binding to attach & hand stitch to the back.

Beautiful! I love the pattern!
Wow, that’s huge! It looks great — and very precise. There’s something about the pieced top stage that I really like looking at.
You are a crazy woman.
This is breathtaking. I love how it looks like stained glass as a quilt top in the sun. Just amazing! I hope you put it in a show when it is completed!
whoa! this is beautiful. but crazy. yes. crazy.
