2 Quilts loaded..

On the frame. I loaded 2 of the girls quilts. I have only been saying I was going to do that for a week or two now. This is the first time that I have loaded two quilts on the frame at the same time. One of them is longer than the other so I am floating one of the quilts and the other one is pinned to the leaders. I haven't quite decided on the design I want to do. I know I am going to do a panto but I am trying to decide if I want to do soccer balls, because that is the motif, or go with a design that isn't too flowery. What do you think would look good? I will put a picture on this blog of what I am thinking of using.

I do have loaded and marked on the table a panto called Flamingo Sunset. I am just not sure if that is what I want to use. I am using for the first time my Pattern Grid and I like it so far. It made marking the starts and stops easier along with the redrawing to line up the design correctly.

The International Quilt Show is this weekend in Manchester, NH, maybe I will find a panto, stencil or book with a design that I like there.







What do you think of the panto Flamingo Sunset? Do you think it will be ok?
I am using a variegated thread from Superior Threads. It is a Rainbows called Tapestry. Make sure you use a size 18 with this thread. I had a size 16 and the thread kept breaking and shredding at the needle.
