    That is one massive sucker! Nothing worse than a Mickey with floppy ears, I'll be interested to see the changes you make (as if you were ever going to leave out a sparkle of yellow!).

    Love it!!! Sorry you are having to go back and rip, but your final finish will be awesome, I am sure.

    I got to say that those men in flip flops are taking away my attention. The quilt? Yeah it's cool but not jaw dropping effect for me. Sorry to say.

    maybe Im one of the blind once lol but I really cant see anything wrong with the ears lol, I really love it, and it just looks like incredible work to me

    You realize that it isn't the quilt that is the problem. You just need to get a bigger bed! LOL Love, love, love the color.

    That patchwork is AWESOME!

    That mother is huge! Can she quilt a Minnie Mouse in the white somewhere? Would be fun… Well done!

    I LOVE IT! And I'm so glad you took a photo on your bed. It really gives us a perspective. If it helps at all, the King size quilt that I made recently ended up shrinking by a whopping 4 inches on ALL SIDES after quilting and washing. Anyway. This is totally awesome.

  11. Cathy says:

    Love this quilt!!! Blue is my absolute favorite color and that variety of shades/fabrics work so well together. Hate that you have to redo it. Can't wait to see the finished product.

    You did an amazing job! The floppy ears don't really bother me either, but it does look like it drags on the floor a bit. Good luck with your quilt surgery!

  13. Ruth says:

    I love it! Which means I really. really like it – it makes me smile! Buy a bigger bed!

  14. It's fabulous! Don't make it too much smaller because the quilting will shrink it. I lost 6" on my last big quilt!

    I honestly thought the "D" was a special name!!! I love your design. My dear hubs is a comic book artist for Disney(in Europe) and for years drew Mickey and his antics!

    It glitters! Well done MollyS! Gemma will do a fabulous job for you. Love her quilting!

  17. Tubaville says:

    DICK! LOL Oh you make me laugh with every post. Your quilts are only a sidebar to your funny posts. I have to say I was pretty surprised it was Mickey Mouse you were working on this entire time. Ah Disney. Whatever.

  18. Barbie Mills says:

    Obviously you just need a bigger bed, right?
    Great job! Pixelated quilts are so. much. work.

  19. Charlotte says:

    bloody hell, that is a HUGE quilt! It's fantastic!

  20. LOOKS AWESOME. I AM A LONGARM QUILTER AND I VOTE ICE BLUE!!!!!

  21. Pank says:

    You did a fabulous job! I love Disney n this quilt is adorable! I want to make one in pink! You are one crafty guy! Sorry you have to do some surgery on Mickey. Be well happy quilting! Cheers

  22. This is seriously amazing!!!

    Well, you ARE the queen of the double entendre… I especially loved "no amount of shrinkage will make this D go down." Just about choked on my diet coke.

    Great job, Molli. I have no quilting ideas whatsoever. I'm still agog at the size….!

  24. Love! If I may suggest for quilting… An all over design with the big 'D' head randomly placed maybe about the size of a handprint. It would mirror your piecing. I love the idea of variegated thread too!

  25. jeifner says:

    Well done! I think it's great. Make it smaller If you must. I think ice blue would be fantastic with the whites and blues. Then again, a sparkly silver would be fun also 🙂

  26. Lisa S. says:

    Molli THIS IS AWESOME!! You just need a KING SIZED BED!! I love the fabric that you used and I think that a verigated thread or even a gold thread would set it off perfectly. You did a bang up job with the tedious work…damn those are a LOT of 1.5 inch squares Girl!

  27. Wow that has to be a new record number of squares pieced in one quilt top, yes?

  28. Katy Cameron says:

    Just can't get the staff these days…

    Can't believe you put Mickey on a diet!

  29. Anne says:

    Holy cow, it's so big!
    (That's what she said!)
    I know, I just said it!
    I agree with the previous commenter that you just need to have the recipient get a larger bed. 😀
