It is really breathtaking Charisma. You've stepped up and
hit another one right out of the ball park. I never tire of looking
at you creations and am always in awe of your fantastic work, but never surprised. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Dayna

Charismah.... thanks for showing us the possibility .... I agree with you about this technique having its own pros and cons ...
The back IS lovely, but the front is not up to your usual standards, eh?
After having seen what you do to make a quilt top "pop" with your expert choices of varying (yet expertly-controlled) free-motion-flow, I wouldn't want you to do a top of mine any other way (not that I could afford you, or that my tops are up to great standards yet anyway)
However, what would it have been like had you used this same backing as the "top" and just a plainsolid fabric for its backing? I guess it would be a whole-cloth quilt top? .... but less concise/ less intense/dense quilting than a usual "whole-cloth quilt" would normally have?
Interesting, to say the least.... Either way, I don't think I would recognize the quilt you just did as a "Charismah Classic" unless told otherwise..... hmmmm

Charismah ..... Re-reading my comment when it popped up, I (AGAIN) realize I need to edit stuff before I hit the "send" button.....argh!
I did not mean to imply anything other than the fact that I was commenting on the technique itself ...
The quilt top is undeinably beautiful .... Whoever did it (you?) did a wonderful job ...... and the quilting from the back is lovely .....
There are several long-armers and machine quilters on this forum, you included, who are developing a very eye-catching "ah-ha" technique .... quite unique to each ...
So, as I said, I will stand pat: I would not have recognized this as a "Charismah Classic" ......
