Now & Then Tulips....by Charisma
 
6 Attachment(s)
This pattern is from a book called "Material Obsession 2"
I pieced it a few years ago..before I owned a long arm. It's been sitting in a bin patiently waiting for the right time.
The pattern didn't have the piano keys or the scallopped border ..I added that.
I am pretty happy with the finished quilt.

Thanks so much for looking.

Love the effect with the circles on the striped fabric in the center. I think adding the piano keys and scallops is the perfect finish!

Beautiful! I really like the way you used the black and white polka dot and your quilting is awesome. That book is one of my favorites, thanks for sharing with us.

Such a unique and beautiful quilt. Only you could make one that beautiful!

JJean 06-19-2012 02:49 PM

Mmmm! Love it!

Really pretty, the scalloped border adds to the charm.

roseville rose 06-19-2012 08:12 PM

Awesome as usual!! What kind of batting did you use to get that puffy effect? Your work takes my breath away!!

lollygagging 06-19-2012 08:34 PM

I think the piano key border works great with all your other fabrics. I love the brown polka dot inner border and the scalloped border is the icing on the cake. The variety of your quilting makes the entire quilt invite you to just snuggle in it! Are you entering this in your upcoming show? Thanks for sharing.

HI Rose,
Thanks so much.
I used a later of legacy 80/20 then a layer of hobbs polydown. It doesn't give it any mroe loft...but it makes all the right places poof. I hope that helps.

Hi Lolly,
yes of course it will be in the show...It won't won ..there are to many errors in the piecing...but I really love the look of the quilt..it's truly my style. Thanks for always being so kind and generous with your comments.

Hi Sharon,
Yes he is long armig..in fact three of my sons are now longa rm quilting..so it's fun to work with them. I actually think it gives them a lot of confidence...and I get to bond with them more. Teen age boys don't usually want to hang with mom...but mine will for money..LOL (probably like most teenagers)

charismah 06-19-2012 08:59 PM

Thanks to everyone for all your nice comments. I really appreciate them.
