Emily's Wedding Quilt


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.
