Linda’s Chariton Sampler
Posted on July 26, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm QuiltingIt’s always an honor when someone makes a quilt from one of my patterns, and then asks me to quilt theirs for them! My most recent one came from Linda R., who made a version of my Chariton Sampler quilt, which was the 2016-2017 BOM for Sew Sweet Quilt Shop.
Here’s my original version so you can see the quilt full out:
I didn’t have space to take a picture of Linda’s flat out once I finished, but I did the best I could to get some photos so you can see the quilting, and some closeups of her blocks. After getting hers finished, I think I like it better than my own!
Since it’s a medallion quilt, I chose medallion quilting.
I used the block positions as guidelines for how to divide it up to make placement for all the elements easier.
We also agreed on not-too-heavy quilting, so I used large feathers in many areas.
I really enjoyed quilting this one, and it also went much faster than I thought it would.
The background fabric is a gray Dimples (by Andover), but it looks almost silver in the photos, and I love it so much!
I didn’t even get a photo of the backing, but it’s a bright lime green and so perfect for this quilt.
I hope Linda loves it.
If you’d like to make your own Chariton Sampler quilt, the pattern is available in PDF format in my Etsy shop HERE.
It is just delicious…
Both of you did such a great job!
Love your gorgeous quilting!
LOVE IT ❤️
Holly Smokes! Well done Shelly and Linda! It amazes me, when I hear someone speak directly to how they want their quilt, quilted.
Oh that is gorgeous. Sometimes I think with feathers you get into a nice whoosh session and it does go faster. Stunning quilt, cheers xx
Wow! The quilting showcases the blocks. How great you could collaborate.
Well, you and Linda knocked it outta the park on this one! What a gorgeous quilt! Well done, you two!
Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!! Congratulations on a job exquisitely done!
Beautiful quilting Shelly! I’m working on a quilt right now that would be perfect with your quilting.😉
absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful quilting and I love her background too. Dimples is my go-to blender.
Gorgeous quilt! I love everything about it. Now I want to see more of the Dimples by Andover fabric!
Both quilts are absolutely gorgeous!
Love how you quilted Lindas quilt. Those large feathers sure look pretty on this quilt.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Beautiful quilts! I love your quilting and how the background becomes a secondary design. I’m in awe and can’t seem to get how to do that kind of quilting. Maybe it’s the wrong style of quilts but still my mind just doesn’t see it on a blank canvas. Guess why you are a professional 😂 Great job!
Fantastic!
Thanks to a fabulous quilting guide for me and my daughter Linda!!
Beautiful quilt, but the quilting is just stunning!
