Charisma's Hope Quilt
 

I bought the Tula Pink "Love" pattern. But changed the word Love to Hope.
It's my middle name and also my daughter's. We both made a Hope quilt. But she quilted hers the same weekend we made them. :)
I Knew I would need time. Each quadrant of the quilt signifies something important that I feel pertains to hope....and I was so inspired to quilt it in a way that it tells that story of hope. I am a freehand quilter. No computer. But I did use rulers. :)

Thanks for letting me share.....I hope you all have a wonderful night! Many blessings.

You have such a amazing talent! I love to see your name in a heading because I know I'm going to see something breathtaking!

very nicely done

Your quilting tells a story--really spectacular work!!!

a very modern quilt

nice

Sooooo beautiful! I always look forward to your posts.

GREAT quilting and quilt, I really like it!
Please tell me HOW do you sew so many pebbles and not go nuts??

How do you mark your quilting? How do you decide on what and where to quilt? This is probably my most favorite quilt that I have seen of yours..

Oh, another beautiful creation! I love to see your quilting. You are an artist. How wonderful to be able to interpret things special to you through the medium of thread.

Gorgeous quilting. Reminds me of those quilt patterns that are done in snow.

As usual your work is stunning! How many hours do you have in this quilt?

Exactly this!

You do the most beautiful quilting. I have a LA and hope someday to have you quilt one for me. My machine has a stitch regulator but it has never worked . I just gave up and I am trying to learn to FM. , But my stitches are long then short . lol

Wonderful, inspiring quilt!

Beautiful as always! Hope is such an important thing....good to have a reminder!

LOVE it!!!

You have done a fantastic job on this. The quilting is superb!

I don't know that I am not nuts? LOL
That last roll was difficult.....my shoulders were killing me ...but I wanted to finish. :)

Hi K,
I marked this with a blue water soluable pen. I try to only mark registration marks...but because of the big rays ..I did have to mark those ahead of time. I also marked out my blocks because I needed to get the math right and I didn't want to be stuck while it was on the frame..so I did mark those out as well.

As far as how do I know what to quilt where? I can't ever answer that in a way to help anyone? I wish I could. I sketch things out sometimes it takes me months to figure it out ( if it's a special project like this one). I am a doodler and daydreamer by nature...and things swirl in my mind constantly. While things are swirling if I can match them to my projects I try to do that.....in this projects each element has a meaning for me which I explained on my blog. My blog address is in the signature of my post. I am not sure I can post it.:) I hope that helps you.

For quilting It took me a little over 10 hours. :)

beautiful job

What a great quilt, can't wait to see what you do with mine when I send it. Love your work

This is exactly what I was thinking when I clicked on the link!!! Love your work, Charisma!

Your quilting is absolutely beautiful!!!

This is absolutely beautiful. I have been looking for a way that I can incorporate some of my deceased father ties into a quilt and seeing what you have done has given me some wonderful ideas.

Thanks so much.

Brilliantly done

Amazing. It took my breath away

I agree, love to see everything that you share!!! Amazing quilt and quilting!!
