OMGoodness this was a challenge
 

This new pattern was very hard on the eyes, when I was attempting to long arm this quilt. It was suggested I place plastic over the pantograph, turn on the lazer light and follow the lines. The lazer would catch a shiny piece of the plastic, and blind me for a few seconds, so I removed the plastic, next the shadow of the machine coming back to sew the next line, would make me feel woozey and i would have to stop - so as not to lose my balance. Took me three days to do all the long arm stitching, now I hang it on the clothesline, just to find out a couple of mistakes, well too much work to add in those two extra pieces I missed...now will give it to my neighbours (young couple) they are not quilters, and I think they will be ok with it the way it is. The Name of this Panto is "Fusion"
This bottom piece will hang over[ATTACH=CONFIG]615801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]615802[/ATTACH]the [ATTACH=CONFIG]615800[/ATTACH]bedside.

Congratulations on a job well done. It makes me dizzy just looking at it, I can image how challenging it was to quilt it.

I didn't notice the omissions until you pointed it out. they will love it. good job

Oh please, with all the lovely stitching i doubt they could possible see any missing anywhere. Lovely quilt!!

I love that quilting pattern. I do one similar with freehand fmq.... Your neighbors will love that quilt!

Very nice quilt.

I love that panto pattern and it looks great!

Beautiful quilt and we all know we are the ones that see mistakes no one else does. Every time I say I will not do another HST quilt I see another that someone will love to have and we are off again.

I can see why it drove you crazy looking at it while quilting! Great job though!

I think you did a fabulous job given the design and density...I’m sure you were relieved to have it finished. Whew.

Wonderful quilt that will be loved by your neighbors. I can see why it would make you dizzy quilting but it turned out beautiful. You did so good on the quilting.

Wonderful quilting!!

Isn't it like a great quilter to notice something that no one else would except may a judge in a quilt show. I always go by the adage "the only perfect quilter is God" . Don't be hard on yourself. This is a stunning and very difficult quilt to make because of the illusions that are created while working on it. Great job!

Beautiful quilting on this lovely quilt!!!

Great panto for this quilt pattern. No one would have noticed the 2 missing pieces if you had not pointed it out. Being quilters, it becomes a challenge for us to find it. :-). The neighbors will not know the difference. That is something to remember......never point out what you feel is a mistake.

It is doubtful that a Judge would have noticed the 2 missing pieces. It is so minute and the Judge has so little time to look at each quilt. This would be considered a “design choice” and not an error in the piecing if they did see it.

A very lovely quilt indeed. I am sure your neighbors will feel honored and very pleased with this pretty quilt. Don't worry no one will notice the lovely imperfections you noticed.

One easy way to fix that would be to applique the correct color over those two spots. But I don't think it is really necessary. It's lovely the way it is.

Gorgeous. I can see why it gave you fits. I also have one that does that to me; I'd doubled back on stitches more than once; it was so easy to do that. Great job.

That lovely black/white/gray fabric gives real depth to the design. I can see why it would make you dizzy, but it makes a beautiful quilt. Maybe write or embroider the couple's names in the "extra" white spaces? Or not. No one but you will notice unless you point it out.

Nicely done---love the quilting.

Gorgeous quilt and quilting.

Beautiful chevron and quilting!

Looks great - if they are not happy, PM me and I will pay for the postage!

Looks wonderful to me...they'll love it.

It is gorgeous, the couple will love it!

I commend you for working with this in the first place. It looks great, even with the omissions. A challenge indeed.

Striking indeed!! Good job!

I like that pantograph a lot. I bet your neighbors were delighted with the gift.:o
