ramona-quilter Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I just got this panel quilt in 52" x 54". She plans to use it as a wall hanging. The fabric is so cute. She added several borders.... Can you see them waving at you? Anyway, I quilted around the frames inside the panel plus some accents around Santa and such. The borders were too narrow to use singly so I doubled up and put holly leaves (Deb Geissler 3") in the beige and inner red borders and ChristmasTrees2 in the candy cane and outer red (Ann Bright's pattern) And the most wavy got double piano keys. That piano key treatment really takes care of those waves and looks so good. The owner of our LQS now knows my trick so when she sees the piano, she knows the border was wavy. I put the close-up photos on my webshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Thanks, Norece. That piano key border trick is not mine. I don't know if that is a DawnC goodie or somebody else on the forum. That little trick sure helps distribute the fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonjaHammond Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Linda: I love this quilt, it is sooo cute. Your quilting makes the quilt perfect. Yikes, I haven't even thought about Christmas. Are you going to try to get your new machine for Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Sonja, I have to sell my current machine first. Want to buy a wonderful Ultimate I. LOL. Actually this quilt was made by a local quilter to display at the LQS. A finished quilt really ehlps sell the fabric. I am starting to see quilts for our local quilt show in October. Christmas is not far behind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 That is so cute! I'm glad you posted this, as I got two Christmas panels in Paducah that I should dig out and make up. I'm piecing a fall wall hanging just now called the Sugarhouse Pumpkin Wall Quilt, by Lynette Jensen, which is all out of Thimbleberries fabrics. It will be nice when finished. I guess then I'll move into Christmas gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Very nice. It sure must be nice to get a Xmas quilt early enough in the year. Wouldn't it be nice if all the Xmas quilts started coming in now. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltjunkie Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Linda, You weren't kididng about those borders being wavy:mad: Great job on the quilting, but don't you wonder how they can manage get them that wavy on a simple panel???? That must be some kind of talent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonjaHammond Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Linda: My first APQS was an Ultimate. I loved it but wanted the stitch regulator and laser. 2 1/2 yrs ago I traded the Ultimate head for a Millie Head. I kept the old 14ft table and added the auto fabric advance. This kept the price in my range. Have you thought about doing this? The only thing I found was I needed a different mount for the motor on the fabric advance since due to the old table. Mark figured out which mount I needed and sent it to me. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
