JustSewSimple Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Everyone who knows us knows we are big time Southern MS fans. We are in the Eagle Club and the Dugout Club. We are members of the Right Field Roost. WooHoo! Last year our team got to go to Omaha for the first time. The Dugout Club Banquet is Jan 29th and they make bunches of money there auctioning off items. I got the Director to collect 20 T-shirts from the season and am making a T-shirt quilt for them to auction. Picture below. Now, about the panto. I used the So MS logo to create a pantograph. I am now ready to quilt it out but am now worried that I don't have enough quilting. If you can tell, do the Eagle logos and the words Eagles leave too much space unquilted? If you think so, please make suggestions what to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Farnham Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi Sylvia~ From your photos, the panto Looks Awesome!!!!What a cool idea. I think that once you quilt it out, it will look fuller to you. IMHO I think if you add too much more, you will loose the effect you are looking for. I hope this helps. Let us see when you are done. I'm sure it will bring in lots of $$$! Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 You rock girl! I agree with Laura, don't add too much! Looks great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Sylvia I think it will be just fine. If after stitching it out you feel like there isn't enough quilting you might want to go in and just echo the Eagles portion. Be very careful about making it too busy as you will loose your design!

IBQLTN2 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Sylvia I am with Heidi I think it looks great as is but if it seems too loose you could add a set of wings above the word Eagles. I sent you an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasewsit Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Really neat!! I think too, to just do that , THEN see if you think it needs something extra.... but I wouldn't do too much! Make lots of $!!! fun quilt and quilting design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWBowser Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I love the panto. Is it possible to enlarge the E in Eagle and maybe stretch the "g" down further and the "l" up farther. I like Heidi's idea to to echo the work Eagles. That is going to look so neat. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspingler Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 What if you were to quilt some streaks inbetween the lines........like streaks of lightning......like you would quilt in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 A football fan probably wouldn't care what design you had. It's really pretty and creative. I like the way the word "eagles" is smaller than the picture. It's easily read and a fan will adore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I agree with the others and think it will be just fine. Any more it may be so busy you would'n't see your beautiful work. You are a talented lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQ'd Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 IMHO the only thing I could possibly add to what has already been said is to maybe nest the passes a little closer together. The design is really nice especially for an Eagles fan! Great work!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I agree with everyone, the panto is great. I can't tell how close your rows are but if they are fairly close nested it should be fine. How close does you batting say it should be quilted? Quilter's Dream always gives recommendations i.e. 9in etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Awesome design work. It will look wonderful and I agree too much and you will lose the effect of the eagle. great job!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 You ladies and the best - any you who emailed me. I can indeed nest the design more closely together. Actually, that will probably fix my "fear." I am using Hobbs 80/20 (I hardly use anything else). I read that it can be quilted up to 3.5 inches apart. I have had clammy hands just thinking of quilting it out but you have given me the "atta-girl" I needed to start on it today. Thanks so much. I will post again when I am done (if you don't see a pic, don't ask!!!! Yipes! Ha!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennan100 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Good job on bothe the quilt and designing the panto! Great ideas, & what a way to honor your team and support them! Of course, if someone asked me to quilt their team spirt quilt I'd be obligated to do so...and the panto would be a big thumbs up with some pretty little TAMU's thrown in for good measure!
