amazing...

Truly stunning!

Surprisingly, I don't think this one is overquilted because there are no swirls or feathers on it. The straight lines are a good foil for the swirls of the applique. It seems to hang straight also, so that tells me the quilting fits the design and is not overdone, IMHO.

I love the way the quilted lines radiate out, straight lines to complement all the curves in the applique.

Wonderful!!!!!!

Incredible quilt and perfect complementing quilting

Amazing, I applaud the creator and maker, extremely beyond anything I have ever seen. For me it would be "look but don't touch".

That is one Fabulous quilt.

What a work of art! If the maker didn't win any ribbons, she certainly should have won one for Patience! :)

This is gorgeous. Some very talented people out there!

Now that is a beautiful work of art - thank you for sharing :)

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, you're right, this is a beautiful quilt. It looks like the quilting threads were intended to be part of the design element. Anyway, that's a way to increase the thread's beauty in quilting it like this. I love it!

What a great looking quilt, the color and design are amazing, hopefully it was awarded a prize

Wow! That is stunning. I am just wondering how many hours that went into that piece of work with design, fabric selection, and execution?

Beautiful quilt and quilting. I should have been a winner, if it wasn't.

Yes, this pattern is from Quilter's Newsletter magazine from a few years ago. I remember saving that magazine, thinking that some day I would like to make this quilt too. Now I feel the urge to go dig it out again. The applique, at least in the magazine article, was done with fusible. Such a gorgeous quilt!

That's an amazing quilt!

Yes. Happy to say I found it in March 2006/No. 380.

Beautiful! I wish I could say that was my work!!!

That is an amazing quilt. The person who made it is extemely talented. WOW!

Boy, I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gives me a headache just thinking about trying that.

Beautiful work!

Thanks for taking the time to share with us. A very beautiful and intricate quilt. I think the quilting goes well with the design and enhances rather than overpowers. It is so interesting so see such work and be able to discuss it with enthusiasts, who each bring their own ideas and share comments. As usual a visit to this board is fun, educational and thought provoking.

Wow! Absolutely beautiful!!!

Will have to go looking for this pattern now and put it on my list of to-do's. Thanks for sharing, it is beautiful!! As is Rachel's yellow one. If you google her you will see her quilt.

So much talent.

I think its a great quilt but I am in agreement with you - I think it will take away from the beautiful applique especially after its washed. I like the new machines but I tend to like the quilting of yester year that actually shows off designs. Just my thoughts though.

What a masterpiece!!!! Love it! :)

you are so right, amazing

This quilt most likely took its inspiration from the colorful Mexican Talavera ware. There are lots of pictures online.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

beautiful quilt

This quilt is called Fandango. I first saw it on the cover of one of the quilt magazines. I have one in progress, but I’m stuck on the borders.

Pretty amazing indeed! Did it win any prizes???
I was too wowed to pay much attention to the quilting (too much or not) but generally speaking, I think machine quilters often do more than is needed, even if it is pretty!

Just stunning.....way out of my league.

Sue z q would love to see a photo of yours when finished.

My first thought when I first saw it was: Ricky Tim.

Absolutely beautiful. I like everything about that quilt!
