A new panto


Irene made this quilt in rich Tuscan colors for her daughter- in- law. She requested a panto called "Square Spiral." She also wanted the quilt to be quilted with a double layer of Hobbs 80/20 batting.

I did not have this specific panto and it was the first time I quilted it. The double layers of batting was the first time for me too and a struggle. But I was so impressed at how nice the quilting turned out. This panto is now one of my favorite new overall patterns.

I love the texture of the quilting...it is almost like a basket weave pattern. The picture below shows the stripe backing fabric.


Margie made this pastel Pinwheel quilt which I quilted for her with the panto "Snapdragon".

Aren't the pastel pinwheels cute?

Blue flower Minkee backing.

I pieced and quilted this T-shirt quilt for Kelly. The quilt is for her daughter that graduated this year and it was also her 18 birthday. What a cute idea for a birthday present!

Random style t-shirt blocks with the "Bubbles" panto.

Her daughter will attending Texas A&M University....A&M fabric in the border.

T-shirt quilt is in the Happy Birthday bag and ready to be picked up. Two more T-shirt quilts in the back which will be next to be quilted.

I also quilt sevaral donation quilts. This was the recent donation quilt I quilted for the library. I think any child will be happy to win this quilt.

Close up of some of the blocks...love the train!


Happy Quilting!
