witha'K'quilting Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Shana, I would almost do an overall design like a pantograph. Something to add more movement to the quilt. 'Come Dance with Me' would probably be pretty, or something like it that has curves. Beautiful quilt. Batiks are my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 An overall was my first inclination too. Let me sleep on this one. Animal tracks, leafy ferns, water, hmmmmmm yawwwnnnnnnnnn zzzzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmiequilts Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 My first thought was an all over too, I've seen these done at my LQS and they've all been quilted in soft, curvy all over designs. The Rainbows tonal tans, creams and gold would look nice on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Shanna, You have some tough ones! Is it supposed to be custom or e2e? What about a meandering feather fern, very loose leaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yep my vote as well...an overall with maybe a woodie flavor....or something rather airy.... NOoooooo foofoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TishMarshall Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 How about fall leaves all over? It's pretty. Tish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrost Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I vote for a panto, also. The fabrics are beautiful & you don't want quilting to over-power or distract from them. So don't stress over what to do...put a woodsy or leafy or animal panto on it and let the compliments fly. We want to see the finished results, too!

sspingler Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Panto.......or you could do one of Suzanne Earley's meandering magic patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunimp Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I see circles on that one to give it some movement. If you don't have a Circle Lord, have you seen the Pajama Quilters DVD with "Dwirling" on it? You would get the same effect. Let us know what you decide.

Laurie Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Since I don't do pantos, I won't recommend them but, I love love! Suzanne's Meandering Magic on these types of quilts. Especially the fern meander. I would use a King Tut thread in either Old Giza or Sahara Shadows..... something like that. It will be stunning!

ramona-quilter Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Ooooh, I like this one. It is the Snapshots quilt from Atkinson Designs from their Happy Hour book. I just finished piecing and quilting the Between Friends quilt from the same book. I love those designs. I have quilted one of these and did an overall. I think that the straight lines need some softening so maybe something big and flowing, like Featheration or Fantasia or Spiral Path. I personally love the Feather Meander that I learned at Suzanne Earley's class at MQS last year. It is so fun to quilt a freehand meander and it is done quick, quick. Shana, I hope that you post some photos when you are done. You know, I love to look at your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy2018 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I saw a similar piecing pattern quilted with a panto called Popcorn, it was really neat, the curves of the panto puffed up the piecing , really beautiful bali's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Shana I have a panto called Santa's Forest that is all interlocking evergreen (fir, pine) trees and it would be great on this quilt. And it would fit in with the Moose block really well. I thought that I posted that last night, but it's not here anymore so maybe I didn't really hit the post reply button. Anyhoooo, thought I would add that to this mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyeQ Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Oh Oh I know! Pick me! :P:P To me this screams for squares/rectangles of different sizes. Let me look for a pic. I just use an L shaped ruler (90 degree?) and make random Ls and intersect them to make squares and rectangles. It would make that pattern "POP" like it was 3D. This one is a bit hard to see. I didn't take as many pics of the quilt body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyeQ Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 See if this is any easier to see. This is one of my Fav things to do on a quilt like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Before I read any of the other responses I thought some kind of overall pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Tracye - what a great idea for a guy's quilt. Ruler-Ls. That would make a great overall. Maybe randomly interspersed with a significant item, like school insignia, sports motif (i.e. football) or an animal, like a Moose silhoette. I'm going to tuck that idea away for the future. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyLynn Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I quilted one of these for one of my students. I just did a very simple meander in the main part, but did feathers in the larger border and heart leaves in the smaller border. I think it turned out very nice and the quilting did not take away from the months and months of piecing Michelle did, I was very pleased and she was too.

jebm Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Shana, I love the pattern, the piecing and the fabrics are perfect...I "vote" for an e2e with a woodsy theme! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Shana What about FunFillerMoose ! E2E Moose and filling in freestyle, like we did with the FunFillerSheep together with Claudia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyeQ Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I found another quilt I'd used it on (I've gotten bad about not taking pictures when I'm done ) Thank you Linda! This is one of my favorite all overs, but as you can see from the picture it works cool in a border too. I often look at a quilt and think more of the same? Like more squares on squares. Or Opposite? Like circles/soft curves. I just think on this one that the more of the same would fill in the more solid looking spots and give it a 3D effect like the piecing pattern was coming off the quilt. I like doing this same thing with circle templates, just real random and overlapping on quilts with circular piecing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
