This quilt is somewhere around 65x93

I am doing it on a long arm at my LQS. Trying to get the hang of it all.....although I actually didn't measure this quilt correctly when I peiced my back...so I had to add some inches after taking it off of the fram and finished the bottom borders on my home machine...LOL. First time for everything!

So cute.

quiltinggirl 04-15-2010 10:20 AM

Very nice job. I love the colors!! :)

laadw 04-15-2010 11:45 AM

Seriously, you have to share with us how you manage to do these quilts so quickly. It took me all night to paper piece a 4" square house last night. Between dinner, baths, and getting two kids into bed. Then spending some quality time with DH I can barely get anything done when I get home from work.

lots2do 04-15-2010 11:58 AM

This quilt is truly lovely. Is this from an issue that's out right now?
Thanks!

Bevanger 04-15-2010 04:11 PM

Wow! Another beauty..... GREAT JOB!

Jim's Gem 04-15-2010 04:17 PM

Pretty!!!

love2quilt... 04-15-2010 07:47 PM

Love the quilt! I bet whenever your kids are older and hear the hum of a sewing machine somewhere, they'll always think of Mom!

charvan 04-16-2010 05:01 AM

WOW! Very pretty quilt, and nicely quilted.

wvdek 04-16-2010 05:14 AM

How do you 'crank' em out so fast? You put the rest of us to shame.

Very pretty and neat arrangement.

abonda 04-16-2010 05:59 AM

very talented!! love the colors! Thats why I never throw away my scapes cause you never know what you can create!! You sound like me. If you have a vision you can't stop till you get it done. Just love It!

Fiber Artist 04-16-2010 09:48 AM

love your colors,nice quilt!!

JanetM 04-16-2010 10:53 AM

You are so amazing. Your quilt is sooo pretty and I just love how you off handedly say I pieced it last night, put on the borders and quilted it today. No one I know works that fast. I would love to shadow you to see how you do such beautiful work in so little time. I know you are a busy Mom so your time is precious, but you really get maximum benefit from the time you have. You are such an inspriration!!!

Oklahoma Suzie 04-16-2010 04:12 PM

you sure do work fast.

Thank You! Those are nice words..I think the reason I can get so much done is that because I don't dwell on things.....once I have the fabric it is a go...I don't agonize over decisions....i just do it...adn usually it turns out well. Thank you for looking.

mimee4 04-17-2010 07:33 AM

That's a great pattern. You are an inspiration to get busy and make one up today.

belmer 04-17-2010 09:18 AM

Great job Charismah! love the pattern and the soft colors.

That was my first question, too, but you answered Sulabug. You must drink Hummingbird nectar to get all done that you do. You are FAST as well as very good!! :thumbup:

sewnsewer2 04-17-2010 09:40 AM

Very pretty!

theresse 04-17-2010 07:45 PM
