Beautiful C! It's such a sypathetic treatment of a vintage top - really demonstrates how a skilled LAer can enhance such a beautiful piece and that the modern can sit alongside the traditional in perfect harmony. But you do know that there's a pink flower on the right of your first pic that isn't stippled, don't you? :mrgreen: :-D

Gorgeous quilt and you're right. The flowers do pop.

Gorgeous quilt and quilting. How did TJ stabilize it so that you were able to quilt in center of flowers?

The quilt and quilting is absolutely divine! I'm wondering why no one has entered your quilting in a show - it would surely take 1st place, Grand Prize.

Beautiful quilt, and the quilting makes it POP!

kimscruzer 04-22-2011 03:56 AM

Beautifully done--just the "right amount" of quilting. i like how your quilting enhances the basic blocks.

Another beauty. Like so many others that have left replies, I watch the postings and am dedicated to seeing each and every one of the quilts you have blessed with your talent. The leaves on this one are the perfect touch. Another winner!

I have been wanting to make one of these quilts for long long time. Just never get at it. It and the quilting is beautiful. I can only wish I could quilt like that. Great job to both!!!

dixiechunk 04-22-2011 05:43 AM

I have looked longingly (and lovingly) at many of the tops you have quilted. Never saw an ugly one yet. But, for some reason, this one just sings to me. I think it is my favorite.
The top maker and the quilter did a fantastic job together.

Feathers 04-22-2011 06:03 AM

Oh! my gosh, that quilt is gorgeous and your quilting is out of this world. Wow! Thanks for sharing.

mhansen6 04-22-2011 06:13 AM

Your quilting perfectly accents the vintage blocks. You did a great job and this will be a treasured heirloom for years to come.

vharris 04-22-2011 06:37 AM

Does anyone know the name of this block. I'd love to make one. I really am taken by those little oval leaves in the block spaced around the yellow center. I'd love to try my hand at this one if someone has the name of the block. I've never seen it before. Thank you.

Becky Mc 04-22-2011 07:47 AM

That is one beautiful quilt and the quilting just adds to its beauty

Very pretty!

Marge L. 04-22-2011 02:57 PM

What is the name of the pattern and where did you find it? Have never seen that one before. I really like it. Marge L.

Debbie B 04-22-2011 03:12 PM

The stars just pop right out. Charisma girl...do you sleep??? And when you do sleep do you dream of quilting??? From all the gorgeous pictures of your work I am beginning to think that you quilt ALL the time. I really enjoy looking at your work. Keep those pictures coming.

GramaLaura 04-22-2011 06:00 PM

Beautiful....beautiful!!! :-D

Rntraveler 04-22-2011 06:03 PM

Beautiful! Quilt and quilting..

HobbyCollector 04-22-2011 06:22 PM

What a beautiful piece of art, the quilt is completely complimented by the quilting and vice versa!

TjNurse93 04-22-2011 06:24 PM

The best I have been able to find out by searching online, this pattern is a variation of an amish dahlia. I was curious of the name of the pattern as well. I didn't sew the blocks myself. They were found in a box after my sister's mother-in-law passed away and I was asked to finish the quilt for the family. When I saw they were hand quilted (as I am new at quilting) I had to do what I could to preserve the blocks.
This link looks similar, but the circle is smaller than the squares I have.
Good Luck!
