Heavier Fabric top for bedspead

[Farmland Quilter]

She wants this quilted with Chevron Feather by Jodi B from bottom to top. I figure I should have a feather plume right in the center and then go equally out the sides. I have the back loaded and was going to float it. By basting the edge to the back and then the top & bottom as I go.

Would it be good or even to work by quilting the plume in the center first. then go backward plume at a time to the beginning edge on the take up roller and then advance and work toward the final edge???? I can't remember but I think this is older fabric she got somewhere maybe a family member. I want it to look special even if the fabric isn't.

I wouldn't personally attempt a pantograph quilt starting in the centre. I would start at the bottom right, work my way up to the top left, as I would any other pantograph, as that is how they are designed to be used, I would however line the sides of the pantograph pattern, up to how I think the pattern placed best over the quilt though.

Just my opinion. and if I understood your question right.

Cheryl,

I would just center the pantograph so that you get the desired affect. I think it would be difficult to keep it centered the way you are describing, or maybe I'm just confused.

Thanks we have thought this thru and by using 6" of the pattern and 8 repeats then another 6" it should fit on there close to perfect. I will start to do it tomorrow after we meet with Jessica Schick this am and head back to IA this afternoon. I hope we make the right decision on whether to purchase IQ.
