This was the fifth quilt I have done for this customer who is really well prepared for the holidays.
I had never done a quilt where the edges weren't straight. As you can see this one is zig zagged on the side edges. I wasn't sure how I was going to do a panto on this one without running amok with the stitching but it came to me while sleeping if you can believe that and so I tried it.
As I advanced each row of the design of the pantograph, I taped to the pantograph table the shape of the sides of the quilt. Each time it had to be changed, so it entailed a bit more work, but in the long run it is exactly what I needed to do.
The quilt got completed without too much problem from all those biased edges.
I used the Bush Berries pantograph on this one.
Again, she used a minkee backing for her quilt and the stitching shows up beautifully.
So, even after a few years of working on quilts (hand guided), I am always learning something new.
My next quilt is a different holiday themed.
I think I need to get busy as these gals are really on their game when it comes time to be getting ahead of things for the holidays.
For me, I am so behind!
