Dream Bigger Quilt

I’ve made several Dream Big flower panel wall quilts. They usually measure around 42″x 42″. But when my aunt requested one for her queen sized bed, I knew that smaller panel wouldn’t work. However, it turns out that there were a couple of options in a much bigger size – 108″x 108″ to be precise!

I love all the variations of teal in this quilt, but finding a neat backing was challenging as a result. I was finally able to spot this backing that had most of the same shades represented, and it was also the exact amount I needed. I took it as a sign and went for it.

The panel was much too big to do my typical feathering quilting design, but I knew I wanted something more interesting that an utilitarian stipple. I decided in swirl as it was unusual but also easy to maneuver over the vast size.
