So just some info: it's 40" x 40" and I made the top around 1995-1997 from some samples of hand-dye fabric (the tiny sqares) and batiks. It was just something to do for play/practice. I could never figure out how to quilt it (by hand). I would periodically drag it out, realize I was still stumped, and put it away. I'd never sent something to a longarm quilter before, but when I saw Charisma's amazing work, I thought she might be able to make something out of this troubled top. I never expected this excellent result! Far exceeds anything I could imagine for it let alone do myself. Uh, I will be sending more her way, for sure!

Always enjoy the work you post. On a little one, sometime, I think it would be fun to see the quilt before and after the quilting is done- just to see the difference that the quilting has on a piece. I enjoyed a book once where the same quilt was made several times, then quilted in different patterns and compared. I was amazed at the variations the quilting alone can make!
