LadyLake Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 This is a king-size scrappy quilt I just finished quilting, using a Quilters Dream Wool batt, Rainbows #826 'Casbah' thread, and one of my favorite pantos called, 'Oma's Garden' by Sophie Collier.

LadyLake Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 closeup Many of the small patches in the blocks are on the bias, which presented difficulty, both for the piecer to attach the border, and for me to quilt. To help with the fullness, I stitched the border in the ditch with black Bottom Line before quilting. The backing is red, and I have found the 'medium red' #603 Bottom Line, to be a good 'neutral' blender color. Here is a link to the panto, in case you want a better look: http://columbiariverquilting.com/sophie_collier_oma_s_garden.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyLake Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thank you everyone. The quilt color actually isn't quite as bright as it shows in the photo. I used the 'enhancer' editing function, since I took the photo in lower light. But, it is going to make a very homey, warm quilt for the customer's bed. The QD wool batt made it into a light, but warm quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anicatt Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi Joan - wow, lovely quilt ) And I LOVE that panto! I looked up Oma's Garden but confess I am confused as the design pic on the Pattern station looks much more dense than your lovely quilting. Am I looking at the wrong one ??? http://www.quiltscomplete.com/Products/Omas-Garden-13__SPQ-OG-13.aspx It also says *the pattern can be stitched as a no-shift design or can be shifted for a more freehand look* ....... ummm .... I haven't a CLUE what that means, can anyone enlighten me?? Pretty please ??? Thanks - Ani Devon England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hi Ani, The link you gave does show the same panto that I used. I think the pattern shown on the quiltscomplete website looks denser because the scale is much smaller than actual. Also, I think that I managed to take the photo right at a section of the quilting where there is more of a gap between the quilted rows. The 'shift' or 'no shift' option with this panto is really nice. With the 'no shift' option, you just quilt one row right after the other, without shifting the paper pattern at all. With the 'shift' option, the pattern has marks on it (maybe 18" apart or so). You quilt one row, then shift the pattern to the right where the mark is, and quilt the second row, then shift the pattern to the left back where you started. That way the design elements in the panto are not one right on top of the other, but are shifted, so there is more variety. It will make sense if you purchase the pattern, because Sophie Collier gives good directions with the Oma's Garden panto. Best wishes to you!

anicatt Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Aha! Thanks Joan, that makes sense - well, as much as it could without actually seeing the panto! hehe So - you shift the pattern after you roll on for the next quilting row - correct? Did you shift when you quilted this one? You know - this craft of ours never ceases to amaze me - there is always something new to learn, new skills to discover, new twists to techniques we use ......... Great fun - innit ??? hehehe - Ani Devon England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
