Love the colors - what a beautiful quilt - it would be very difficult to keep it a secret - at least you both get to enjoy it.

Delta, thanks! I've lost over 130 pounds and I'm shooting for another 20. I haven't been this side sense 8 or 9th grade, over 25 years ago. I'm looking forward to the next class reunion.

This is so beautiful.

Chuck, you've got a true artists eye for color & movement. This quilt proves it! Your FMQ is fantastic! You'd be a natural on a longarm! Fantastic! I love seeing your quilts, they're so inspiring. Keep up the good work on the weight loss, you're looking good!

Beehiveof9 11-16-2012 06:27 AM

Very stunning! The FMQ is fantastic. Do you use a long arm or domestic machine? Your partner is right to love this quilt!

EmiliasNana 11-16-2012 06:48 AM

You did a fantastic job, both piecing and quilting. Love the bright colors!

Really beautiful, Chuck! Why didn't you bring to guild meeting last night???? So much movement & action in this quilt, really well done!

Roberta 11-16-2012 07:56 AM

Just beautiful! Did you make up the pattern or is there a place where you could purchase it. He's going to LOVE IT and if he doesn't, I'll send my address and it will have a good home here :-)

tracibug 11-16-2012 09:36 AM

That really turned out beautifully. Good work!

Such a gorgeous quilt. I love it from the center to the very edges. The lime green is the icing on the cake.

aeble 11-16-2012 04:01 PM

What a great quilt! I'm glad your partner loves it.

My sewing "room" is in our bedroom too. I've been trying to do a surprise quilt for my husband, but I haven't had a lot of opportunity to work on something without him seeing it. He's just too curious!

lynnie 11-16-2012 06:38 PM

Wow, love the bright colors and your design.

debcavan 11-16-2012 07:05 PM

That is gorgeous. It actually sparkles in the photo. Even my husband made a comment about it. Now that is unusual.

Behiveof9,

i quilted this on my Janome 7700 and it was a work out. If I only had room to put a table behind the machine and along side it would've been easier. I should have taken to my mom's house and used her long arm, would have been easier and taken less time, but I did this during camping season and mom lives 2 hours north and the trailer is 3 hours south. With the price of gas and doctors appointment, that wasn't feasible. I wanted this done so I could begin my tree of life that I am being paid to make and trying to get that done for Christmas. Try is the operative word.

MissSandra,

the pattern is called Crossroads II. I purchased the pattern at at The Quilters Garden in Fenton Michigan. Carolyn, the owner, designed the pattern. When looking on her website, I did not see the Crossroad II pattern, but did find the Crossroad pattern. If you give her a call she will be more than happy to help you, is is a truly lovely lady. Please let her know that Chuck referred you, she might know me as Chuck and Darrell. Darrell is my quilting buddy and its his fault that I spend a small fortune at her store, she has one of the best supplies of Batiks and is always willing to stop and help each and every customer.

Below is the link to the Crossroad pattern.
