My longarm isn't working and rather than put money in to fixing it I decided to get a new longarm. I bought a King Quilter II Elite made by Handi Quilter. The day after I paid for it they told me it would be backordered until sometime in November. So I'm out of work for a few weeks. I'm going into withdrawal! The good news is I've been able to spend time piecing quilt tops, something I haven't had time to do in a few months.
I'm working on my Circa 1880 quilt. This is a quilt with 2-1/2" blocks when sewn are 2". It a beautiful quilt made with reproduction fabrics. 2 friends of mine from online groups finished their quilts and had them appraised. One appraised for $5,700 and the other one was $7,000. Both quilts had custom longarm designs and that's what I plan on doing to my quilt when I get it finished.
I started the quilt in January. The pattern designer said if you work an hour a day, 5 days a week, the quilt will be done in a year. I'm making a queen size, which will need over 700 blocks and I have 375 finished now!
