::Charmed Quilting Starts::
A day off with nothing to do but quilt (not until kid duty at 3pm at least).
D-R-E-A-M-Y.
For some reason, I quilt faster in my head than in real life, but I’m not complaining and certainly admiring the five columns I was able to finish today.
Hell, I’m a 1/3rd of the way there.
If I’m ambitious then I should be done around Sunday, in between those sessions called work.
Whoops, unless I keep skipping peels in my orange peel quilting.
I’m still working on my corner to corner rhythm, I seem to make it to the middle and stop. I’m sure I’ll have it down by that 15th row.
Happy Wednesday.
I love the quilting you’ve done so far! Really looks great and original.
The quilting is awesome…. I must try that pattern soon.
You planted a big smile on my face with the comment about work. Thats excately how I feel this morning going to work. All I really want to do today involves a cup of tea, a couch, and some hand quilting.
Oh, this is simply marvelous! I love this quilting pattern. I have three hours sans kids this morning and I’m itching to quilt, but there’s all this laundry, the piles of dishes…
Your quilting looks great! I had to smile when I saw the missing petal in the first picture. You should leave it that way. Every time you see that gap you can smile 🙂

Looks fantastic…The quilting is so different and gives this quilt a really charming feel.
Love that quilting effect. Darn work thing does keep insisting on getting in the way of play though, still, it keeps us in fat quarters…
I think the missing orange peels actually add a great sense of whimsy. love the quilt!
Sounds like a lovely day! I’m hoping to get some quiet time on Saturday.
Oh, your quilting is gorgeous!
I looove this quilting pattern. I generally do straight line quilting – but I’d like to try something like this at some point. So pretty 🙂
I’m so impressed with your fmq in this style. 🙂 I need to try this!
The petals are a perfect choice for this quilt. Love it!
I love it Katie! I’m going to try it next time I’ve got squares.
I love the “orange peel” quilting you are doing – perfect for your pretty squares!!!
Your stitching really does look nice. It takes a little bit to get a rhythm going. Good job!
It’s gorgeous! I kind a like that you missed one of the orange peels. 😉
Really lovely, Katie!
Sometimes it seems we’ve been quilting for hours, and we take the quilt off the machine to admire how much we have done. And poof…..de-flation. There is still so much more to quilt! It is really a fun whimsical quilt.
Love that luxury on unfettered time…
Kid-free gives me a chance to recharge, I share the sentiment of dreamy.
I’m loving the quilting you’re doing on the charm quilt, although whenever I’m actually quilting something myself on the machine I always wonder if I’m doing it right. I still think I need a real lesson from you.
that quilting is terrific! will we see you at the sew-in tomorrow? i may actually make it!
Love both the quilt and the quilting. Thank you for showing us how to!
This looks great. I’m a sucker for patchwork and then the unique quilting really accents the squaredness (nice new word, huh?) of the fabric pieces.
I love this, I want to drop everything and make the one just like it right.this.minute!!!
I’m with Lindsey, it’s perfect!!!
