Fado Road

This is Marlene's Fado Road quilt.  She participated in the sew along hosted by Ships and Violins. Marlene is not afraid of tackling something with a lot of piecing!  This was a combination of traditional piecing and paper piecing.

Marlene and I looked through a variety of pantographs and nothing was really jumping out as the right one until Marlene spotted the Velvet Queen pantograph.  Marlene's favorite flowers are sunflowers, so this design spoke to her.  I have had it in my collection awhile, but the right quilt hadn't come my way to use it until now.

Marlene added a cozy grey flannel on the back and the pantograph show up nicely there.
