Thanks Gellybean402 for the nice compliment. And I must say, Charisma's quilting makes the quilt! The quilt back is simply muslin.

Charisma, you just get better and better all the time. The quilting on this one couldn't be any better.
Scrappy is wonderful, but you pushed it over the top. Well done.

This was one of the first quilts I made (over 20 years ago) and when I saw Charmisa's quilting, knew she would be the one to bring it to life.
Thank you Charisma.

Beautiful!!! And yes I agree, Charisma you brought this quilt to life! Absolutely beautiful!

I have to say there are 100's of HST and I didn't see one point cut off! Exceptional piecing!

I wanted to highlight the pattern in this scrappy quilt....The black square on point, the red star and the flying geese borders. I put in feather wreaths, feather swags, stipple in several areas to highlight the design elements and simple wavy line to break up some areas and provide texture. That's my favorite word "texture".

I used Hobbs polydown batting.

I quilted this on my 26 INNOVA. No computer or pantograph quilting.

Thanks for looking!

That is a beautiful quilt, and as usual you just added so much to it's beauty with your beautiful quilting art. You are so good and such a natural with that machine of yours. I would love to be near enough to just sit and watch you work someday. I have to open your post first when I see one, because I am always in such awe of your beautiful work.
