Beautiful quilt and quilting. Thanks for sharing.

It's a beautiful quilt! It still amazes me to see what can be produced with HST's.

I always enjoy looking at your LAQ and this is a particularly stunning example. You both outdid yourselves.

She hand pieced the whole thing from HST's to the Needle turn applique. Pretty amazing..it's all PERFECT!

She is going to enter it into her local show...so I tried to quilt each element to bring it out further....fan, feathers, continuous curves and echoing.
I am in love with this quilt.
Love the traditional look of it...
Thanks Elaine!

Love the quilt and the quilting. Gorgeous!

Her piecing is incredible. Hand pieced, WOW!!! I love seeing your work. It always interesting to see what great ideas you have for the quilting.

What a beautiful quilt-I'm sure you will win!!

Flo_rancher 06-16-2012 05:11 AM

Awesome..love how the construction guides the quilting..

gusandclaire 06-16-2012 05:15 AM

And a great big thank-you for the lovely quilting job you did Charisma. You took an overly busy looking quilt top and totally enhanced it. Now maybe you and I can win a ribbon at the show--here's hoping.

This is a beautiful quilt and your quilting is perfect.

judykay 06-16-2012 05:33 AM

Looks like a Blue Ribbon to me !!!! Do you know what pattern she used?

homebody323 06-16-2012 05:35 AM

No words to express the excellence of your work. Just out of this world!

daisydebby 06-16-2012 05:38 AM

THat quilt is SO beautiful!!! The colors are just right and LOVE LOVE LOVE the applique. Such patience to handpiece the entire thing!!! I wonder if this was like a winter project or does Elaine handpience everything? Anyway, it's truly spectacular. And Charisma, you did another great job on the quilting. Both of you are winners. Hope the quilt gets a top prize:)

DebbieG 06-16-2012 05:54 AM

Drop Dead Gorgeous....beautifully done quilt and the quilting is simple amazing.....I'd hate to think what a custom quilt job like that costs....or how long it took. Wish Charisma lived close...that's where all my quilts would go....If I could afford it!!

laynak 06-16-2012 06:39 AM

Wow....such a stunning quilt! Truly exceptional.

Suz 06-16-2012 07:04 AM

Magnificant work by the two of you. I am in awe!! Am wondering about the outline stitiching around the applique in the darker thread. Were the stitches done by hand or by machine? The stitches really make the petals stand out. I must give this a try as I do a lot of applique myself. Just wondering.

quilter7301 06-16-2012 07:08 AM

So pretty love it all.

oma66 06-16-2012 08:25 AM

The quilt is beautiful and the beautiful quilting is not overpowering, so the quilt shines through the quilting. I have seen too many quilts that are loss to the quilting design and it is such a shame. This quilt shows perfect balance. Lovely job on both counts.

mighty 06-16-2012 08:39 AM

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
