I received my order of pantographs a few days ago and one of them just begged to be used on this Quilt I made for a special customer. The fabric line is called Earl Grey and is a batik Collection by Hoffman of California. The Quilt itself is a queen size 90" x 105" and needed to be masculine. Each of the batik pieces in this collection is full of design elements and I have a hard time cutting these up into small pieces, so each fat quarter was cut into 10" blocks and then randomly sewn into the Quilt top. A 7" border of co-ordinating silver coloured Batik as well as a rich chocolate brown Minky and cotton batting make the Quilt complete.
The pantograph is called "Dazzle" by Lorien Quilting and I just love the ease with which it is executed as well as the gender neutral design. I used a silver coloured thread and I think it looks "smashing". I know my customer will be pleased.

This is stunning - & perfect for my son - I stopped by to visit him yesterday & your other quilt is laying over the sofa - not on the bed - so he will really appreciate this one. I couldn't be happier.
Thank you Monika,
Sylvia
