Fairy Blossoms 9″ Pictogram

Description

This is actually a partial Pictogram- it’s not 12 feet without repeats because one section is repeated. 

My friend Mildred made this cute sample quilt.

This pattern is 11″ wide & 12′ long.

The distinctive feature of a Pictogram is that it’s a pantograph with NO repeats.  It’s a complete 12′ roll comprised of 4 panels of 3′ each, all “hooked” together. I’ve added a dotted line at each 36″ section. While they can be stacked up as shown in the picture, they can also be quilted like an E2E or B2B giving lots of pictorial subject matter to your quilt.

To avoid placing a fairy or image on top of itself all the way down the quilt I recommend starting at a different 36″ division for each “pass.” After starting, continue quilting through as many sections as needed for that row. You won’t have to stop – the line is continuous. For a full sized quilt I might make 7-8 rows, starting at various sections of the panto.

For alignment helps see the Tips Section.

Purchase our Fairy Flower border/sashing separately, it’s so useful for fitting the panto into any quilt.

I used this pattern for one of my “Black Light” quilts. Read about it on the “Black Light BLog.”
