no ideas on pantos but I absolutely love that fabric! my colors and it's a paisley--why say more!
|
Very pretty. I just FMQ on my regular sewing machine.

Lovely fabric! If you did a matching thread colour, any pattern would blend in. I might be tempted to do a paisley panto just because I love paisley.
|
Why not just use the pattern IN the fabric as your quilting guide? It has curls and swirls galore and highlighting them might just be the trick.
|
I have followed the lines in the paisley, free-motion, for a couple quilts, and it turned out pretty good.
I use this free panto website for inspiration: http://www.designsbyvickie.com You might find something there. |
I would just use a pattern that provides texture, not something with recognizable images in it, because they would be very difficult to see on that busy fabric. Something like: Hitch, Popcorn, Happy Times, meandering, dwirling (which is not a pantograph but a fun and easy freehand that looks like a topographical map).
|
I seldom use pantos but just wanted to add how much I love that fabric...I tend to agree with those who have suggested that you use the paisley design in the fabric as your quilting guide.
|
I have had that fabric and made a beautiful quilt, I just did a meander when quilting. This is by far one of my favorite fabrics!
|
Ditto what quiltingshorttimer said. That is GORGEOUS fabric. I'd probably use a panto that sort of flowed with the paisley so as not to detract from it's awesomeness! I LOVE IT! And you've probably had it in your stash a while.
