Yikes!

Ruth brought me this Yikes! Quilt to quilt for her Son-in-Law.   I took inspiration from the fabric with the wavy lines and decided to use the Time Warp pantograph.  That fabric is the gold fabric on the lower right in the photo above.  

I love the texture and movement this panto gives a quilt.

 Margot brought me this quilt as well.  The fabrics are Kaffe Fassett.  It's quite different from the scrappy BoM she brought at the same time.  This is what is so fun about quilting for others--the wide variety of quilts and fabrics I get to play with. 

 All this quilt with it's bright and busy fabrics needed was texture, so we used the Time Warp Panto.  I have loved the texture of this panto from the first time I saw it on a shop sample at a local quilting store.

I have been loving the texture of this Time Warp pantograph (or similar ones) for years, and finally bought it for myself.  I rarely use a pantograph, but the TEXTURE on this one!! 

I use a panto so rarely, in fact, that I've owned this one for at least 6 months before using it.    It seemed the perfect fit for this batik quilt of Noreens.   She used navy as the dark, which was the perfect choice for this blue loving quilter! 

 I didn't take enough photos of the fabrics in this quilt...I loved that they looked very much like the old batiks that my Mom used to make, not in terms of color, but in terms of seeing wax crackles
