It's almost as bad...

As a Schnibbles!  So many triangles and bias edges!  But, I’m nearly done.  The original pattern was way to small in my opinion, so I’m having fun expanding with borders.  The right side with the outer strip of yellow and blue will be the final borders, I still have to piece the top and bottom triangle borders.

I have been pondering how to quilt it when I finish, and I have a pantograph in my collection that I think would be just perfect for this.

What do you think?  Something with kites would also be good.  Since I’ll be doing an all over design, I would love a suggestion for a thread color, I’m leaning towards matching the lightest blue (I’ll be quilting this with Isacord thread).

I spent a good part of yesterday taking inventory of batting, thread and pantographs and getting them entered into my business software… ugh.  I have the longarm section of this website nearly finished (but not viewable to the public yet), business cards made, but I’m still working on a brochure.  I really dislike doing that stuff.  LOL

Ya know, CJ, this panto is PERFECT for this quilt because, for me, after seeing the panto, I think the quilt has a Sailboat Flag effect one me.

From you prior HQ ownership, do you have alot of Pantos in your stash?

I, too, love doing brochures and such. When we lived in Cairo, that was the BIG part of my job over there. But, since moving back to the state, I'd probably be lost because software has changed so dramatically.

I think that is the perfect panto for that super cute, bright, happy quilt. Perfect border treatment. I call that the Judy L influence. ;-)
How are you doing adjusting to your fabulous new longarm?

So cute. A varigated thread could look good, too.
