Amy Butler trees.....by Charisma
 
4 Attachment(s)
Well I have this obsession with Amy Butler fabrics...every new line she comes out with I buy....I know. It's pretty scary then I hoard them for my "special projects"...it's a sickness having this haording disease ( only when it comes to fabric) I think I am among my supporters. LOL

Anyway these trees I just knew would make a good "cheater" quilt. Love the pink and red blossoms. The funky green color....yep.....just had to have.
I thought I could do some "fancy" custom quilting...then decided I really need to showcase some all-over type designs....so I used Clam shells from my loricle templates and quilted custom borders.
I hope you all have a blessed day.

This turned out just beautiful! Lovely job.

Charismah the way you quilted this is pure genious. I would not have considered an all over clam shell but it is the perfect compliment to this fabric. What you did in the borders is nothing short of pure "charismalishiousness".

very nice quilt and quilting

QuiltnNan 10-08-2012 04:57 PM

very nicely done

stitcherlady 10-08-2012 05:20 PM

Your quilt turned out great.

You always seem to know what kind of quilting will enhance the pattern or the fabric in a quilt! You amaze me! I love looking at pictures of your work.

azwendyg 10-08-2012 06:14 PM

Love it! The fabric is gorgeous and the clam shells are perfect for it.:thumbup:

Jingle 10-08-2012 06:31 PM

Cheater or not, it is gorgeous.

Tartan 10-08-2012 06:34 PM

I most admit I find them pretty hard to resist also. She has a real knack for interesting patterns and colour combinations. I bet if she saw your quilt and your quilting that Amy would say you have a real knack for bringing out the best in her fabrics.

i am in love!!!! you never cease to amaze me

The clam shell is a great compliment to the fabric -- did you do one or 2 layers of batting (the clam shells look extra poofed). Great job!!

sniktasemaj 10-09-2012 09:29 AM

Really nice. You did a beautiful job, Charisma.

Just one layer of hobbs poly down.
Hobbs always gives just the right amount of "poof" in my opinion.

Charismaliscious is right!

nannyrick 10-09-2012 11:15 AM

Oh my, that is gorgeous!!! Thanks for showing this. Your work is to die for.

littlebitoheaven 10-09-2012 01:33 PM

I really love the "puffiness" of this quilt. Would you mind sharing your batting secrets? Yolanda Wood River

Such a lovely quilt. You did a great job.

ItsJustMe 10-10-2012 05:44 AM

Just wonderful! Love the fabrics and the quilting! You are so talented!

katkat1946 10-10-2012 05:54 AM

Another WOW! When I see these whole cloth sort of quilts you're doing, I have to wonder why any of us would keep on piecing - then I remember....at least for myself, I can't do this fantastic quilting that you do which is what makes them stunning! Maybe some day...toward that goal I should get off the computer and be in front of my machine:o

solstice3 10-10-2012 06:42 AM

wonderful. when I see a beautiful print like that I stear clear because I can't bear to cut it so I don't buy or use it

margie77072 10-10-2012 09:02 AM

Every quilt you do is beautiful and different. I don't think you have repeated a design. They are all so individual. Great work!!

Blinkokr 10-10-2012 09:07 AM

Another beauty, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Super job, as always. I love the colors in this fabric. I feel a shopping trip coming on!!!!

AnnT 10-10-2012 10:03 AM

Looks fabulous!

carolynjo 10-10-2012 11:35 AM

You chose just the right design to quilt. It looks scrumptious!

QandE2010 10-10-2012 12:37 PM

Charismah, I am going to get an ink stamp made with "Charismah, gorgeous quilt is more beautiful after you quilted it." Then I won't have to type it each time you list. Just kidding!!!! Thanks for sharing.

gigi4419 10-10-2012 12:54 PM

Beautiful quilt!

pinebeltquilter 10-10-2012 01:35 PM

Beautiful. Fabric and as usual, the quilting. Good job!

1screech 10-10-2012 06:09 PM

Everything you do is just spectacular..I don't care for the term "cheater". I prefer "convenience" quilt. Also, there is nothing cheating on this quilt. It looks wonderful. I love Amy Butler also.

thebossbab 10-10-2012 06:14 PM

I always love looking at your work!! Always well done and beautiful!

jojosnana 10-10-2012 06:57 PM

I am so glad we share this hoarders addiction. Great work!

nls 10-10-2012 07:08 PM

Grandma Peg 10-10-2012 07:11 PM
