Dresden Plate Monster quilt

Well, after a concerted effort, today i finished the machine quilting on this monster... 
(You probably know that feeling where you've got so many different projects on the go that you just have to try to finish something!  It's been creeping up on me and I am going to try to get some of these projects finished off before the year end!)

I know that Ive blogged about this quilt quite a bit in the past, but its not very often that I tackle a king sized quilt, and this is the first one that I have ever done the quilting on.  it took a long time!   (plus I did it in add-on sections)
Anyway, even though there are puckers and erratic stitching, it is now ready for the last stretch, the binding.   I will need to go buy something for that, and I am thinking about going with a medium blue or that green thats used in the dresden plate locks..   It might come down to whatever is available. 
Maybe I will get this one done before Christmas!

King size quilts,

Well, to state the obvious, a king-size quilt takes a long time to sew.
I continue plodding away on my fancy dish quilt.
I added a fifth row and the outer edge to one side of the quilt.
And I spent a bunch of time quilting.
After that I laid out the final row and outer edge, finding out at that time that I needed to sew four more X blocks
Which I did.
I'm hoping that I can finish this quilt in the next few weeks
