chickenscratch Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Quilting Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I've done a couple of Suess'. Each one I did a bubble sort of panto. I know one was Sprung and I can't remember the name of the other. A boxy panto would be good too. Have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lkl Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Teresa 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. Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamache Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I used a Panto called Jitter Bug on a child's quilt - think spirals and saw blades. It was cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnewell Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.waits Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Teresa, Urban Elementz has one called African Samba that seems Seussish to me. You could probably do something similar freehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
