Connie brought me this wonderful scrappy quilt. The pattern is Emily's Wedding Quilt by Fons and Porter. Essentially it is made up of two traditional blocks - Shoo Fly and 54-40 or Fight.
I love how curves appear out of all straight seams. Connie left the quilting design up to me. I debated about trying to come up with a custom quilting design that would enhance the circles or use a panto. When considering the size of the quilt (100 x 100), the borderless design, its intended use and my online searches of how other similar quilts were treated, I decided that a panto was the best fit for this situation.
A white So Fine! thread disappeared into the 30s reproduction fabrics and white background. The panto is called Lithe.
Beautiful, and your quilting emphasis the pattern so much.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with Nancy, this is a great choice that enhances the quilt.
