suggestions for Dr. Seuss


Recommended Posts

Has anybody quilted one of these?  All the pictures I've found on pinterest show it with a simple stipple meander.  Should I try a panto on it?  I don't care for  the look of stipple meandering. Just too simple in my opinion.

 

This will be for a child, so it will be washed and dried regularly.  I am going to purchase a polyester batting this morning at Joann's.

Very cute, Teresa! I'd opt for an overall/panto. There's so much going on with color and piecing, doing custom-ish would be more work than it needs. Unless it'll be a wallhanging. If it's to be used and cuddled, something medium-dense that adds texture seems a good idea.

Thanks Linda. I had planned to do an all over, edge to edge but not sure which pattern to choose.  Swirls won't work and flowers, leaves, etc. definitely won't work.  I'm trying to think of something quick and easy, yet still attractive, but for a kid.  I have the animal crackers pantograph, but I've never used it before.

I used a panto called Dynamo by Urban Elementz on a red, white and black Dr. Seuss kid quilt (minkee on the back). It was a customer quilt so I don't have a picture.  I think a freehand zigzag-like E2E would work nicely too.

I've used the dazzle panto from Urban Elementz.  It's good texture and gender neutral, but definitely is good for boys.  I think it would work well on this.  There is another called cool beans.  I've quilted several versions of this free handed, with squares and rectangles going every which direction.  Had a modern feel to it, but I think would also look good if stitched with white thread.
