I went to high school in the lilac city, Spokane, WA.
I can tell you the sweet smell of lilacs in bloom is so pretty. My grandmother had lilac bushes planted around her patio and it was my favorite place to sit while in bloom..just read a book in a patio chair..what lovely memories.

When I received this quilt I immediately thought of that and it gave me sweet memories.

This is a lovely quilt. I quilted charisma curls in all the purple areas and quilted a wreath in the white centers...it just seems so sweet and pretty.

I used Hobbs polydown batting. I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA. I did use a chalk pencil to make a circle in the center of each block for a point of reference. It washed out without any problems.

Thanks for looking.

This is a beautiful quilt and a lovely quilting job. Kudos to both of you. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sure you are tired of hearing it, but that's another beautiful quilting job!

A pretty quilt, and fabulous quilting! :)

Super job... one compliments the other... LOVE the Charisma Curls!!!!!!!!! i envy your ability... i'm working on it... bj ;)

As usual, your work is just outstanding. The quilt is lovely and both of my DDIL's would drool over it. Great job to both the quilt maker and the quilter!

Wonderful Job....

Such a beautiful quilt, and a great job quilting too!

Your quilting amazes me. It really brings the quilt to life. The back is beautiful. You are really talented.

Ohhhh that's beautiful....I love lilacs....when we lived in Alaska they blommed everywhere in the early summer

Very Pretty, It sure is nice to think of nice memories.

My purple loving MIL and my daughter would both absolutely love this one. Excellent job!

Beautiful!

Beautiful! They are just starting to bloom here. :)

What a wonderful stroll down memory lane. Great work by both of u.

Lilacs.....one of my favorite flowers, but alas I've never seen one in AZ....too blessed hot! I bought some of this same fabric so Charisma may well get another lilac quilt sent to her in the near future. Now I've seen it made up, the fabric will be calling to me. I love the swirly curls but most especially the center medalians on this quilt....the design is perfect (as always). OOOOH PLUS AHHHH to be sure!

Lilacs are blooming right now in Massachusetts. It's a beautiful quilt, and as usual, your quilting complements it perfectly! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, that is beautiful.

C, that's just gorgeous!!! Today I finally got to do some weeding after a lot of rain and the lilacs are all in bloom.
The fragrance is intoxicating!!! Wish I could give you some :(

Beautiful quilting. I love seeing your quilting

Wow! I just love how you take a beautiful quilt and make it spectacular!

Gorgeous quilt, my real lilacs are in full bloom right now!

OH, very pretty!

This quilt is really pretty and your quilting just finishes it off. I remember the lilac bush I had just outside the back door of our first house, what a beautiful smell.

Lovely lovely! My mother has lilac in her garden and I love it too- I just wish the blooms lasted longer.

Very pretty, I have a remnant of the lilac fabric.

Absolutely beautiful quilt and quilting.

A totally lovely quilt, a real uniting of two artists.

As always Charisma your work is stunning and you are right... it is a very pretty quilt!

Hugs

Oh so beautiful.
