Kona Modern quilts.....by Charisma
5 Attachment(s)
Well I don't have a lot of time for piecing......but I love LAQing. ( I think you all know that) So I have been taking "Cheater" prints and making quilts.
I wanted some new samples for my booth ( next show is MQX....YAY!) .....as soon as I saw this at Fabric Depot in Portland..I knew what I could do with it.....I had a hard time choosing which color way I wanted.....in the end I chose this one. The creamy butter center was just perfect for showcase quilting. I had never been to Fabric Depot before....WOW! It was a bit overwhelming....there was so much of EVERYTHING there. If you are ever in the Portland area you should stop by there. I am trying to decide which color of binding to use...the charcoal black color to frame it all in...a pretty stripe? The same blue color as the border? HMMMM? I used two layers of batting....legacy 80/20 and hobbs poly down. I hope you all have a blessed day! |
OMG - what a perfect choice of fabric to showcase your quilting art!
|
excellent quilting. Do you enjoy the challenge of modern quilts?
|
Agree ... perfect way to showcase your work for a booth. If I had to choose a binding I would go with a stripe like is in the circles ... but it would have to be a bias binding to make best effect of the strips.
Very pretty!! AND ... a tax write off :) |
great idea Charismah.......! looks amazing
|

Well Charisma you’ve managed to pull me out of my persistent state of lurking with your once again extraordinary quilting artistry! My daughters & I comment frequently that when we grow up we want to quilt “just like Charisma”. Thank you for the many times you’ve shared your beautiful work over the years & I’ve failed to comment. Please know that my family and I greatly enjoy your work and appreciate your willingness to share with those in this very special community.
|
WOW - this is so beautiful! Amazing quilting.
|
I was just thinking like DogHouseMom that the stripe like around the circles would be perfect.
|
Absolutely gorgeous!!!.
|
WOW..to say it is gorgeous is an understatement! Hard to decide the binding...I have to lay them out to decide.
|
WOW , You make even a cheater cloth look amazing! A fabulous way to show case your quilting! The back is just as beautiful as the front.. Not sure which side would be up on any given day.
|
The backing makes a gorgeous quilt!! Beautiful talent!! Thanks for sharing!!
