This is a great quilt!

The perfect "man" quilt! For one that loves to fish anyway.

All of the blue water prints are lovely and mix well together.

I decided to quilt a water design near all of boats and fish in the water scene fabric. I outlined some key elements like fish, birds ect.

I added fishing lines to the poles, clouds, and texture in all the other areas.

I used warm and white batting.

I quilted this on my 26 inch INNOVA.

Thanks for looking.

WOW Charisma, you did a fantastic job. That quilt looks like there is water in it. Great job.

Hubby will say a sunny day in the islands where he usually goes fishing but we do live in Florida.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Charmisa quilting definitely makes the quilt. She is AWESOME!!!!

This quilt was from Wilington Prints called Reel Em In.

I'm not going to show this to my kids, or they will each want one. They just love fishing. Great quilting. :)

Wow...what a neat quilt!! It stands on its own for looks and you complimented even more with your artistic abilities with the quilting !

Definitely a man's quilt. Love the color and the quilting is so beautiful. It brings out the detail, especially the clouds in the sky.

It was really easy. I will probably make another one for my BIL. I have the fabric but want to get some others done first.

RuthFru 05-11-2011 05:52 PM

The quilt is really cool and your quilting really brings it to life.

GreatStarter 05-11-2011 06:05 PM

Oh, that is a great quilt. Obviously the quilter who created the top put alot of love into it. As always your quilting really highlights and brings out all the best points in a quilt's top.

Amazing! This one must have taken some time.

atvrider 05-12-2011 05:17 AM

I am starting the very same quilt this weekend. I am donating it for a fundraiser. Havasu is very big on fishing so I thought why not appeal to the men for a change. Hope mine turns out as good as yours.

grannypat7925 05-12-2011 06:00 AM

Can't let hubby see this one! You do such great work!

I would like to claim the design but can't. It was from Wilington Prints. Their was a lot of love put in it though as this was the fourth quilt requested by hubby when I have a bunch of others to do.

Homemother 05-12-2011 06:39 AM

Charisma - your quilting gives this piece a 3-D effect!
Absolutely outstanding! (no pun intended)
I love it!

Wonderful job.

Toto's Mom 05-12-2011 07:01 AM

Another great Charismah quilting job!! Love the quilt, and the quilting just finishes it perfectly. I also love to fish, and I could look at this all day, and enjoy it.
Kudos to both of you! :thumbup:

Beautiful Quilt! My family and I love fishing and I would love to have accomplished such a beautiful quilt! Great job!

A Wall Hanging like this would be a great idea too!

Beautiful as always!!!

I'm sure it will. Really pretty easy & I like the idea of appealing to the men for a change. Let me know how it turns out.
