Karen’s “Squares” quilt is perfect for the Gothic Vine pantograph. The scroll design of the pantograph compliments the architectural feel of the quilt. The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select.
Joanie has made a quilt that perfectly displays the Dizzy Pantograph and Superior Threads King Tut variegated thread.
Barb of Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop makes great quilts! Her fabric selection is awesome! Check out her quilt shop online or in person. Here’s one of her latest dubbed “Summer Fruits”. The placement of the greens and pinks make a super canvas for fun quilting and variegated thread. I decided to quilt it with “back and forth” feathers using the blocks as guides which creates another pattern with the stitching. The borders are quilted with separate designs and the zig zag inner border is quilted with double back and forth feathers. The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton.
It’s really great when I get to quilt one of my own quilts, especially when they are gifts for special people. This is a fun, fast quilt to put together from a pre-cut kit available at The Fabric Stash Club. I think I have made 8 of these and still don’t have one for myself! You just stack the squares together and stitch around the edges. Wavy outline quilting and the Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select batting adds lots of texture. The completed quilt is machine washed and dried giving it that antique, soft and cuddly look. The edges are going to fray which gives it a tattered look. The combination of 100% cotton batting and homespun or yarn dyed flannel are necessary for that effect. Just for fun, I added a greeting to the borders congratulating the recipients on their 50th wedding anniversary!
