My mom and I started this quilt together in the summer of 2007. We'd hoped to have it done by the spring of 2008.... LOL! Well, we're only a year off.The quilt uses the Oregon Trail block and has a star themed fabric running throughout, so we call it Starry Night on the Oregon Trail. The quilt has no batting, which made it a little different. It was easier to machine quilt that way, but it also came out of the wash wrinklier than a quilt with batting. We're thinking of ironing it. Yikes!Also learned we needed to pay better attention about cutting the triangles on the bias. We obviously failed to do that with some of them and they stretched, which caused some small puckers. Not too happy about that.While I always see the flaws, we're pleased to have this giant thing done!Here's where the picture can be found if you'd like to take a look: in NV

Thanks so much, Donna! HA! I think to iron that huge thing, we'd need to do it like a big quilting bee. LOL!

Best regards, Michelle in NV
