Catherine P. Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 This morning I?m working on a charity quilt. You know, those small ones that are given to women?s abuse shelters or the sheriff?s department to carry with them. It got me to wondering what easy, fast pantos you like to use. One that I like is Popcorn by Jodi Beamish. It?s not very dense so it goes fast and it?s wide so I cover a good area before having to advance the quilt. For those quilts that are a panel with borders added I often just do a meander. Of course, if it?s for a charity auction, I spend time on it so it will hopefully bring more money. Which pantos have you found are good to use on those simple Charity quilts? Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 "Which Way Did They Go" buy Judy Allen and Water World by Jodi Bemish - two of my fast favs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I love the Kathie James panto named Fern Meander. It just has an undulating flow, quilts up fast and looks good on lots of patterns. I have used it on 3 or 4 quilts and the customer is always pleased with the results. I have seen a similar pattern called Fern Gully but I have not used it. It looks like it may have more energy. I prefer the slow & easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Angel Wings (Jodi Beamish) is one of my favorites especially for women's organizations and girlie quilts. I also like Chantilly Lace by Norma Sharp ... looks so good on girlie quilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriasews Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I agree with Mary Beth. Waterworld is a really good pattern that looks good on lots of different patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Large overall meandering is probably the fastest...there is no pattern alignment with the next row and you can work the whole throat space. I like to do large overall feather meandering...it is really fast too....often faster than a panto...it is creative and gets feather practice in:) ..it looks great and more personalized than a meandering. On the compuquilter...Deb's Swirls is probably one of the fastest. Cheryl Mathre Stone Creek Quilting Sandy Hook, VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmyhogan Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 At this point my very favorite is "Leaf Pile". We have enjoyed using it and really like how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hey, another guy quilter! Guess I just didn't read far enough these last days. Jim, how can you be a newbie and a Senior Member at the same time? Oh, I guess the same way I can, duh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltcrazy1 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 My very favorite, fast panto is Bromeliad, I can get a king size quilt finished in about 2 hours and that includes loading. I am a little bias though, as it's one of my patterns. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanros Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I like to use Chantilly Lace or Surf's up and I also have Popcorn, I do about 4 chairty quilts a month, some times I do them custom if I want to try some thing different.

countrystitcher Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I love to use Come Dance With Me/Jodi Bemish, it looks free-hand and flows so very nicely, I get lost in it. I also like Waterworld and Popcorn - they look good on anything. There is one called Chocolate Feathers that is fun and looks wonderful with colored thread but takes a little longer to do. There are so many pantos available now - aren't we lucky! Sharon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
