Your stitches look nice and even. Look how daring you were-- with all the white space and colored thread!

That is quite a quilt you made! Wonderful quilting to complement it, too.

Welcome to the long arm world--lots of learning going on there! You did a very nice job, pantos aren't really easy at all for all the reason you said about the learning. I like that panto, too.

Tip for doing pantos..... with your finger trace on top of the design for a row Trace, beginning to end of the design and that will put it in your brain. Your curves will be more consistent with the pattern.
I use to do this every time to refresh my memory. I quilted on my Gammil for 14 years.

What a beautiful quilt. Simple but so pretty because of it.

Your quilting looks great and I think it is Angela Walters who says spirals are individual to each person and don't all have to look the same.

I think you did a great job for your first panto. It looks like you are enjoying the process of Longarming. Keep up the good work.

Love it, great job on the quilting! What a coincidence, but am doing a baby quilt and coming to the quilting stage right now and was considering something like this! Except that I'm on a DSM. After your "not as easy as it seems" warning, I might reconsider...

Default pantos

As a professional longarmer, I think you did a great job. Circles are a real challenge. Might I suggest you try a panto that has shorter curve areas.

What a nice quilt! I love both the back and the front. You will get better with practice. I do a couple of practice rows before I start a quilt. That helps build muscle memory. I think you did a great job on it!
