My first IQ project!
Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 4:25PM I had saved the last of the Sweet Menagerie Nine Patch quilts just so I could try my first pantograph on the IntelliQuilter out on it. If I screwed it up, I wasn’t going to worry about it as I didn’t much care for this last one. I had the better part of some jelly roll of Christmas fabrics I wanted to use up, and this quilt was it.

I used lime green thread! I wish it showed up better in the pictures, but I’m too lazy to pull out the stand and set up the tripod.
This panto was incredibly dense, and took forever to sew out. I used almost an entire spool of thread! I figured if I could successfully line up something this densely quilted with the new system, I wasn’t going to have any problem with any other pantograph!

I’ll probably bind this and donate it… it doesn’t have a home and I don’t have a destination planned for it yet, but I will find a good home for it. The worst part of winter is coming up and it will keep someone in my community warm!
I learned quite a bit with this one… I’m probably not doing a panto the most efficient way, and whatever I did certainly didn’t match up with either the book I have or the video I watched, but it worked well enough and made sense to me.

fun! and the quilt looks great too!
Looks great! I'm always afraid to FMQ in a bold color for fear my mistakes will be plain to see. Your quilt looks fantastic!
I like the quilt block and fabrics!
I think it's quite nice! Love the colors, and the panto is awesome!
OH MY GOSH...the quilt and quilting are beautiful! Looks to me like you are an expert already! I really enjoy doing charity quilts start to finish, except for the binding part. Thankfully, we have guild members that only like to sew down the binding. Do you put your binding on at the longarm?
Does this mean that you loaded a panto into the software of your IQ? Or was it one preloaded?
That quilt will keep someone warm AND HAPPY!! Such cheerful colors and beautiful quilting. Lime green thread sounds just perfect for that happy quilt!!
